It's always the sign of the bad faith arguer to throw decorum and impropriety at their opponent whenever they refuse to tolerate absolute clear and objective bullshit.
You don't get to play a victim here. You are spreading misinformation and you know it. Or you don't and that just makes you a willing dupe.
So no, I think his response was well with the polite decorum afforded a peddler of dogshit. An idiot trying to take everyone else down with them.
The time for tolerating bullshit alternative science peddlers is over.
You can go fuck a duck. I'm exhausted by people like you over the years. You want to feel special, like you know something more than everyone else and this somehow gives you permission to challenge established data and science with you "opinions".
Fuck all the way off. The time for a concerted public backlash against people like you is at hand. I'm so fucking tired of idiots feeling like they deserve equal time with experts.
This is how everyone needs to learn to start handling these shitheads.
Hey im stealing this as a blanket copy pasta for the next one of yhe idiots i come across, thanks
