Years ago, I used to spend a significant amount of time posting in sovereign citizen/freeman-on-the-land forums. I very patiently, very painstakingly, and very respectfully attempted to debunk many, many stupid, ridiculous and potentially harmful arguments (which were based in clear and obvious misunderstandings about statehood, sovereignty and the law.) In my war against woo, I cited cases, legislation and treatises.
Eventually, I reached a point where I wasn't sure whether I was doing my more harm than good. So I stopped.
I'm still not sure what the right thing to do is when confronted with other types of woo (like on this thread).
