Everyone please keep one thing in mind before you decide to respond to red or bill. Combined, they have over 5,000 posts of utter drivel, mixed with zero evidence, stirred with nonsense, and topped off with delusions. Type up your responses accordingly (Or, not at all if you can find the strength to "Just say NO to twoofers"). I found the strength not too long ago and have been twoofer free for a few months now. With the help of my fellow members, I hope to go a full year without responding to the older twoofers. Oh and you don't have to tell me, I already know. I am very brave.
Now, if a new one rolls along, I will give him a few chances to accept evidence. If he fails to accept after numerous chances, then it is time to ignore him. Keep in mind though, these new twoofers can be addicting. It's like taking just one more drag off of a cigarrete after you have quit smoking. After you take that "last" drag, you want just one more. And then another, and so on. In this case, the twoofer is the cigarrete and the smoke you inhale is the nonsense he spews. The little high you get off of the cigarette is like the feeling of a good debunking. While the cigarette high may feel good, it actually builds up tar in your lungs and can lead to lung cancer. Then in the end, the cigarrete leaves you with nothing, except the addiction of wanting more.
The same is with the twoofer. The debunking feels great, but once that twoofer responds, ignoring every single point you made in your 1000 word post, it leaves you feeling frustrated, angry, and there is probably some physical harm caused to your brain from excess intake of stupidity (Someone should do a study on that one). Then finally in the end, nothing is accomplished.
So the next time you feel like engaging a twoofer in discourse, think of your health, and more importantly, your family. Because if you can't say no to twoofers, do you really want to die from a brain aneurysm caused by twoofers? What will your family think? I for one am not going to let that happen. I hope you all can find it within yourselves to do the same.
Just say NO to twoofers.
Perfect analogy and i like the 'just say no'. I also remember the ad campaign for it.
