Who are you to tell someone they're "fundamentally flawed”? It really just reads as a convenient way to avoid actually engaging with what they’re saying. If anything is shows that you or whoever is acting that way is incapable of understanding or engaging an argument.
We need to treat people better.

My viewpoint isn’t truth and I’ve never claimed it to be that and no one has to fix anything, that’s the beauty of discussion. There’s a huge difference between understanding someone’s opinion and agreeing with it. Someone who isn’t capable of understanding others views is flawed, not whether they agree with those views or not. Further to that, it’s up to each individual how much value they apply to others opinions. I’m sure some people couldn’t care less about what I think, and that’s fine, I feel that way about some posters too. I tend to not value boot lickers.
We do not need to treat stupidity and stubbornness with kid gloves, it needs to get called out, it’s a welcome change on this board from the homerism.
