yeah well I still think it works

Edit: in seriousness, I agree with you. But I just can't help feeling that if somebody is able to change their mind with evidence then it's my duty to try.

I try too, but it's frustrating. I just wish I knew of a good technique that didn't involve out-and-out lying. Because it's hard to compete when someone's being spoon-fed misinformation and disinformation that's carefully crafted to bypass all their filters, and you have to try to fight for the truth by being honest and using facts.
