Even if you agree with the sentiment of the statement, "get over it" is a shitty platitude pretending to be advice.

Is "don't feed the troll" better? This behavior is unacceptable but I'm really leaning towards the belief that sensationalizing this will only make it more likely..

This is about as big of a recognition a single troll could get in OSS with no code contributed.

As advice? No... Maybe slightly? At least it is sort of actionable I guess.

I agree with most everything else you said, and it invites further conversation on whether this is exactly what the troll wanted (recognition, feeling powerful for ousting the maintainer, etc.).

The original comment I replied to, a one-liner with the most overused platitude possible, did not invite any further conversation and contributed nothing which is why I sarcastically called it out.
