Can confirm an easy way to win an argument is to remove the decenting voice. Bet that would have went great in civil right and woman sufferage.

Ignoring the irrational isn't the silencing of dissent, it's ignoring time-wasters who refuse (or are unable) to argue in good faith.

I only get so many hours on earth, I'd rather not spend them debating what the definition of "is" is with someone who would rather litigate tautological nonsense than accept *any* level of evidence as sufficient.
