It's the only mature and sane thing to do. Otherwise, what's the alternative?

I have a theory split in two parts:

1) Because it's online/remote and anonymous: I think that in 99% of the cases, when face-to-face, the toxic persons wouldn't even dare to say what they say online.

2) I learnt that most of the times toxic persons are in the 15-25 years olds range. They are just kids that do not know any better. If a 15 years old kid starts to insult me in the street, I'll just ignore him. It's just a kid.
