No. This advice was given for years - just ignore them they are just trolls. It is very suitable to be the only one who gets to express opinions.

When center and opposition never push back, then you are the only one talking and you will walk all over them.

Ignoring them doesn't stop you from expressing opinions. If you have something to say, then say it. You don't need to feed a troll to empower yourself to speak about your beliefs.
