The vitriol with which people spout factually false information on this site can be a bit off-putting at times.
Facts are a difficult thing to overcome.
RE: The vitriol with which people spout factually false information on this site can be a bit off-putting at times.
The problem I often have with posters at FR is they post one liners which DO NOT address the points raised in an article.
Many are simply trying to come up with clever one liners, and that’s all. For instance, I once posted an article from the National Review which was actually favorable and supportive of Trump.
I got several posts on that thread that can be summarized in one short post : “National Review sucks”. THAT’s IT.
I do appreciate those who try to respond to the issues raised and to refute the points presented by the authors.
