I, for one, am glad to see Lee back on the forum, particularly as I am facing some challenges related to growth (and how to manage the various practicalities) and have found his insights very interesting in the past. I have some questions I hope get answered in the next few weeks.
However, Lee, if you’re reading this, you did make one mistake last time you were here that I really hope you won’t repeat.
You responded to the idiots, and let their moronic chatter get to you.
You cannot win an argument with idiots, because, well, they’re idiots! And more importantly, they don’t want to win arguments, they just want to rattle you.
If you make a good, irrefutable point that’s backed up with evidence, a forum idiot won’t say “fair play, you’ve got me there. Perhaps I was wrong”. Nope, he will say “but what about this [unrelated thing] or that or this”.
You could prove that black is black with scientific evidence, expert opinion, personal experience etc, and a forum idiot will still say black is white. It’s a game not worth playing.
So, the only way to deal with forum idiots is to ignore them. Completely. No matter what they say. Ignore!
They’ll keep trying to provoke for a bit, but will eventually get tired of being ignored and give up.
If you engage them, you perpetuate their stupidity (which is bad enough) but also you waste your own time and effort. After all, do you really care what idiots think?
Ignore!
