Okay so someone on Tumblr made an "aphobe block list" that consists solely of names and takes up an entire flash drive (which I don't know if that could even happen) and has nothing to do with aphobes and just so happens to align to people's particular prejudices about Tumblr. It got her a ton of attention, and people started to ask to be added to it. I told one of the principles I thought she was being trolled (it feels exactly like something Ms. Scribe did), and she said she didn't think a troll would spend that much time on something. Which is when I reached my limit for that particular misconception, having heard it over and over and over for years.
This particular thing is a big fat nothing. But I've seen so many people hurt by thinking that trolling takes more time than it does, and that no one would do X horrible troll thing.
