It depends on my mood. But, yeah, the truly bizarre comments…I just can’t. Like, something is clearly wrong with those folks and I’m not going there.

My go-to is the far less creative but satisfyingly curt and dismissive: “Thank you for reading.” (That’s the equivalent of “bless your heart!”) There’s nowhere for them to go with those 4 words, so it’s pretty effective.

You really are the bad ass here, Vanessa Torre!
