The problem I see with that is there really doesn’t seem to be a point in bothering with things like civility. The people who say shit like that aren’t concerned with anything other than being intentionally obnoxious. A quick jab back to remind any reader that this is what is at stake here and then going into an explanation of “this is how absurd these people are” seems quite effective to me in the short attention span online space.
