There's nothing to be gained by being polite with people acting in naked bad faith

What are you or your movement gaining by telling them to kill themselves?

What would be gained by creating a safe space for a beliggerent, obtuse, dickhead like you?

What is gained by treating your behavior and arguments with the ridicule they deserve?

You should not engage in a discussion in order to convince someone to change their mind, but if you do so, and you do it in a public forum, then you ought to understand the mind you're changing is very rarely that of the person youre interacting with, but that of onlookers.

Finally, not everything is about some robotic desire to advance an ideological cause. Its pretty reasonable for people to react negatively, when you behave negatively. You behave like a smug prick, despite you being obviously uneducated on the subject you desire to speak, so naturally people treat you like a smug prick opening their mouth to talk when they ought to shut up and listen.

Not me, but it does make it clear that that kind of behaviour isn't welcome here
