You got trolled. You're engaging with a troll. You've given the troll what they want. They won't go away, and you cannot wish them to go away. You only have control over yourself and - in this case - how much you choose to engage with a troll.
This isn't new btw, it's as old as the internet, probably much older (think Diogenes).
I'm curious what you find troll-y about my post but obviously you don't have to respond. I've been posting on HN for many years. The post fluctuated quite a bit score-wise, so I'm curious what about it came across as such, just for my own feedback. If you don't want to respond have a nice day.
I don't know about the account, but what they posted is what intersectionality describes itself as. There's absolutely nothing troll-y about this post.
