Get off your high-horse.
No one is advocating "superficial love for false teachers."
24 The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,That's all the mods are asking. If you can't abide with that, well too bad, so sad you're mad.
25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, -- 2Tim 2:24-25 [NASB]
Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

What a failure of Christian brotherly love.
I pray that you will be in the spirit, not in the flesh.
NAsbU James 1:22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. 26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
