One good thing you can say about Pete is that he is invariably courteous in his posts, including when he is arguing with people who are not.

That is not something which can be taken for granted. In fact it is pretty unusual.

So what if what he is arguing for is not true? There are plenty of false beliefs that are harmful and even evil, including both those held by a few, and some which are very widely accepted, and it is right to try to fight them. But the beliefs that Pete is arguing for do not fall into that category, any more than believing in the Loch Ness Monster does.
