    Sure, the person who refuses to engage with any counter evidence and acts incredibly smug must be the credible one…

      I’m not going to engage in this discourse, just as much as I won’t engage in the discourse about whether or not the Earth is flat.

        You are engaging. You’re just doing it in a way that makes you look like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

          Seriously, all they did was legitimize me rhetorically. Focusing on rhetoric is a trap that I try not to fall for, but I can’t really do anything if someone does their best to tank any opposing argument.
