I know what point you’re trying to make but that’s not true. I think Red Slinger and Beninho have both said as much for themselves. I actually think there are quite a few more than that.
But then there’s the Skeeter/Nage category that is just flat out trolling or extremely dead brained where there’s literally no point in even humouring what they are saying because anyone with half a brain is going to know it’s bull#### and the only people who actually respond are people who do it for fun. Plus the Pointman/blankall types that are just the same misinformation on repeat, which you can have a conversation with, but they’re increasingly becoming the former.
The problem at this point isn’t that nobody has changed their mind, it’s that most of the people who would have basically been given overwhelming reason to do so and already have. The people who haven’t aren’t exactly dealing with a full deck and half the time look like they can’t understand what they’re reading or are responding to a thought they had in their head. So, like, what exactly is going to “sway” someone? The whole “can’t reason you out of a position you didn’t reason yourself into” thing.
Nobody in their right mind would confused Skeeter for someone who understands what’s going on. He thought the West Bank and Gaza were the same and both controlled by Hamas and didn’t understand the most obvious joke a poster could make. As I said, not playing with a full deck.
