This reminds me a story I heard from a Buddhist monk. Its probably a story every Buddhist monk uses because it's a pretty good metaphor for dealing with pests.

While sitting in the mountains meditating he'd see the occasional eagle fly through an area dominated by crows. The crows would all flock together and attack the eagles by dive bombing them.

Now the eagle could easily fight a crow and win, however, he would just get hurt in the process. And there are always more crows.

He could destroy the crows nests but he'd neglect his own survival duties on this task. And there are always more crows. Maybe this time stronger crows, that will do more damage.

Instead nature found the perfect balance.

The crows divebomb the eagles, but the eagle just waits until the last second and tucks in his wing allowing the crow to divebomb right past him. Then he carries on his way. He can't ignore the crows, but he only needs to expell the least amount of energy and it is not a problem anymore.

One day, Fatrick was delivering medicine to a local Lord. Those around him were shocked to see him with a job, even one so small, but, undeterred, he waddled onward to his task.

On his way through the town, he fatly came across a man on the street who was in dire need of the very medicine he was carrying for the Lord. He paused before the man, stooped down, and looking him in the eye, he said:

"Bad news, my child. On my way here, I thought the medicine was candy and ate it all. I'm very sorry... sorry that you're so stupid."

Upon hearing that, the man was Enlightened.

The sequence could have been:

1. Issue Norm tweet
2. Receive backlash
3. "Wow. Unexpected response to Norm tweet. That's why they say comedy is subjective."
4. Ignore remaining backlash and trolling and continue on with Orange Man Bad and hawking derivative sci-fi pulp.
5. Done.
Or he could just not do 1 and still have his precious child to care for. I mean the blue checkmark obviously.

There’s a time tested way to beat the trolls. It’s called ignoring them. But instead of using that method for free, Piggy ran up $175k in legal fees playing stupid games.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. that’s what was on the refrigerator in my house, Porky.

Exactly - nobody here cares what he likes: movies, books, food, comedy, politics - all his tastes are dogshit.
He could have taken the hit, kept his fat mouth shut (as he was told to over and over, by people he trusts or should trust or that he pays to advise him) and the trolls would have moved on.

Instead, we get Chad Pena knocking his meaty cock head against the lectern to emphasize his points; versus a DMV lawyer who looks like he was dredged up from the ocean floor.
