You can't have a discussion with people who think you will always be morally wrong.

I am not sure how decent conversation can progress if there is constant name-calling, antagonizing, and marginalization based on if something is wrong. This applies to both sides.
If one person makes an assertion, the onus is on them to back it up with facts and explain their position, and the person with the counter argument should back up what they say with facts and explain their position. Respect the other's position if they don't agree or see it the other way. Attempt to educate in a polite manner but respect differences of opinion.
Resorting to conjecture, hyperbole, and insults takes away from decent conversation. I'm not a saint on this either in past threads but this is really getting out of control in this particular conversation, not unlike we've seen in other politics and O/G discussions.
