  Can you laugh at your enemies and love them? Rules for Christian mockery

  Sadly, Christians are often among those engaging in bad-faith speech on Twitter, including against one another. We should punch up, never down. Mockery is a tool to expose evil and folly in powerful places, not for grinding down the weak.
