The rules of social media are often learned the hard way. Don’t tweet drunk. Don’t bitch about work. Don’t feed the trolls.
Thankfully for us, Toronto-based writer Katie Cunningham isn’t one for playing by the rules. In a recent and utterly glorious exchange on her Twitter feed, she not only fed the troll, she left him totally stuffed.
It all began with this tweet about the phenomenon known as mansplaining:

His name is Greg Hughes.

The Twitterverse LOLed (that's still a thing, right?) - "genius", "masterpiece", "we see what you did there", read the comments.
Unfortunately, Greg didn't see what she did there. He didn't see what she did there at all.
He continued:

Oh Greg. You poor dear.
The exchange has since achieved the viral status it deserves, and Cunningham couldn't be happier.
