Of course the fool took offense; you hit too close to home. So out comes the nonsensical rhetoric.
Never expect logic from a leftwinger. On a forum the other night, a stupid young twit actually told me Israel has no right to defend itself against Hamas because Hamas doesn’t wear military uniforms.
If you want to continue dialogue with your idiot, keep your cool and shred him/her with razors of logic and facts. Expose him/her for a fool.
No dialogue, I prefer hit & run. Every time one of them takes a shot at me they expand my audience; within an hour of her outburst I gained four followers.
