Speaking up hardly seems like emotional hysterics to me, more like having the courage of conviction. That’s not me being too old for the Internet. Bigots are like mosquitos. Neither survives in the main channel of a swiftly flowing river. They keep to backwaters, need isolated little ponds, and reproduce where they're not interfered with. Given the choice to fight or run, you suggest running every time. The strategy you're calling ‘ignoring’ and I’m calling ‘learned passivity’ strikes me as being too broadminded to take your own side in an argument.
The way you position things so dramatically suggests to me that you're too emotional to confront these people without being suckered into a fight. You want to cruise for trolls, that's your business. I refuse to feed them anymore.
