Please for the sake of all you hold dear, stop interacting with trolls on any level. Block, and report if necessary, and move on.
They don’t care about your arguments, your insults, your logic. Engagement just makes them laugh.
Starve them out. You’ll be happier for it.

See, I'm a fan of these posts that don't say "btw I had 643K followers on Twitter" - because I do think announcing that you're purged can be the encouragement / nudge needed for all other uncertain users to do the same.
All right, my Twitter account has been completely deleted.

So don’t give up hope. Do not despair. That is what they want, and we shall not give them that satisfaction. In Japanese, there is a word my mother used to say to me.
“Gaman, Georgie,” she’d say. It means to endure with fortitude and dignity. We all could benefit the spirit of Gaman. /5
