I created this badge to clarify what sort of Tumblr user I am.
 
In the past, I have initiated and responded to personal attacks. I have always felt bad about it, as if I let a vicious, primitive beast take control of me. Posting this badge is my way of apologizing for those mistakes, and for making clear one of my core beliefs: that online discourse should be civil.
 
I will be personally attacked forever. This is no attempt to protect myself. This is the clearest possible way of telling such people, “I’m not playing your little game.” — and, in doing so, separating those who actually want to have a conversation, from those who simply enjoy hurting people.
 
Tumblr users will always have the capacity to hurt one another. The only measure one can take — your best defense — is to refuse to engage. If you react to an online personal attack you are handing the attacker a gift: you are sanctioning a premise buried under the details of the attack: that it has some validity. Don’t bite the bait, don’t “get them back”, don’t “set them straight”. By ignoring them, you will separate them into a distinct existential category: Troll.
 
I wear the badge as an icon of strength, of my dedication to my conviction that some forms of online interaction are simply not for me.

Our startup paid its first round of outside investors 36x. Which meant, with current US tax rates, that it made sense to invest in us if we had better than a 1 in 24 chance of succeeding. - http://socmoth.tumblr.com/post...
