Musket, you should ask yourself whether your approach is doing any good. From what I can see, not much: those you castigate entrench themselves further to save face and fling bombs of their own, while the rest of us run and hide. Further, I gather that you are engaged in a struggle against hate; I would suggest that the campaign you are waging here is as likely to succeed as the original crusades: i.e., not.

There is no point in "debating" points of faith or ideology with its adherents; logic has little if anything to do with belief. Every single protracted wrangle on Mudcat, from gun-control to the nature and quality of folk music, arises at least in part from this error.
