Just so I’m clear on how to present a logical argument in this thread:

Step 1: make a claim
Step 2: have said claim refuted
Step 3: throw personal insults
Step 4: get called out on said insults
Step 5: deny insults were made
Step 6: get asked to rationalize my comments
Step 7: avoid answering
Step 8: 😃

Am I doing it right?

You can also skip straight from Step 1 to Step 8 by placing the smiley on your claim, which means you’re just joking around and you don’t actually believe what you’re posting. It does have the benefit of skipping Steps 2-7, which can be tedious. But overuse on the same type of content over & over could lead to accusations of being disingenuous.
