i think people not knowing how to actually win an argument against a bigot is exactly the reason there are so many these days

shit's easy. not that they'll admit defeat but getting them babbling irrational nonsense takes very little debating skills. and when they inevitably start throwing ad hominems, then the mods have legitimate grounds to kick them out.

    "You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves in to."

    Though it is occasionally possible to point out how their arguments don't stand up to scrutiny and get them to engage on it.

    Only works with the ones not doing it on purpose, however.
