LOS ANGELES -- Don't feed the trolls, says the ancient internet wisdom. Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones is lighting them up and crossing the streams.
Because at some point, enough is enough. Everyone has a limit. Jones found her limit Monday night in the form of deeply ugly, unequivocally racist attacks on Twitter. A lot of them.
SEE ALSO:Guess what, misogynists? You're the reason 'Ghostbusters' is about genderShe just isn't having this.
And around noon ET on Monday, she started to wind up.
Over the course of more than 30 tweets and half as many retweets, Jones has been blowing up accounts that were tweeting at her with some pretty vile, un-repeatable things.
Though we won't amplify them here, Jones has been holding nothing back:
Ok I have been called Apes, sent pics of their asses,even got a pic with semen on my face. I'm tryin to figure out what human means. I'm out

... and decided instead to expose (and in some cases, report) the worst of the worst.
You know I'm gonna stop blocking so y'all can go through my feed yourself and see the bs. You won't believe the evil. It's fucking scary

She also criticized Twitter for letting this happen in the first place, prompting a response from Jack Dorsey, the social media company's co-founder and CEO.

At some point in the evening, Jones took a dour turn. And who could blame her?
I don't know how to feel. I'm numb. Actually numb. I see the words and pics and videos. Videos y'all. Meaning people took time to sprew hate
— Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) July 19, 2016
I use to wonder why some celebs don't have Twitter accts now I know. You can't be nice and communicate with fans cause people crazy.
— Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) July 19, 2016
But for now, she's hanging in with the attack strategy.
Stop saying ignore them or that's just the way it is. Cause that's bullshit. Everybody knows an asshole check them for their hate.
