I make sure not to attack any non-public individual personally. Since I don't perpetrate ad hominems, I don't tolerate them. When somebody calls me a nasty name or whatever, I don't retaliate in any way other than to use the Twitter Block feature after politely explaining to him/her why I'm doing it. E.g., "I don't do personal attacks, as you have just done to me. You even used a truly homophobic slur! I hope you will learn decorum. You will now be blocked." | I make sure not to attack any non-public individual personally. Since I don't perpetrate ad hominems, I don't tolerate them.
