Its too often pointless political cannibalism, and represents a loss of opportunity to utilize reason and logic and conservative values in changing minds.
Surely you jest. You're a smart guy, you know full well the difference between someone who is misinformed but willing to learn, and someone who is proseltyzing or disrupting with leftist/RINO/libertarian views. Who exactly are you trying to fool?
Now there's a question!
“....with leftist/RINO/libertarian views.”
I say better to engage in spirited dialog than to zot. Obvious political plants/disrupting notwithstanding.
“Who exactly are you trying to fool?”
If you truly believe that zots are all political operatives sent by the “enemy” then you are only fooling yourself, not advancing conservatism.
