Have you noticed that some people are not listening to you? This is happening more frequently on FR, someone who is really an expert and knows what they are talking about posts a comment that debunks some particular line of nonsense. The result is usually either an immediate ad hominem attack or they pretend that you do not exist. Most of these people never read the article, they just pounce on the headline. I fondly remember the days when we recognized folks who knew what they were talking about, read what they had to say, and learned from it. Not much of that going on these days.

Exactly. And that’s how the same multiple-times-debunked tripe will continue to raise its ugly head on FR for ages.

The DHS ammo purchase threads are a great example.
