I'd say everyone has different buttons and approaches. Some respond to facts, others to threats. Some people need driving, others guiding. Lots need to be made to think they reached the conclusion themselves and sometimes one can use reverse psychology.
I've never seem mockery work because then to accept your truth they have to accept your assessment that they're a fucking moron right along with it.
Not saying it's never appropriate mind, just that it help change minds. People like Jideoni-Charles can't and won't and as such a bit of mockery is clean fun with no downside.
I just want to know where you get off telling people how to respond to douche bags?
I made a very good point in this post and I do NOT apologize for dropping the hammer on a total piece of shit hypocrite sack of garbage. I don't have to be nice to arrogant assholes. I don't have to be tolerant and I sure as hell don't have to be scolded by someone who believes a lot of the same stupid horse shit. You want to pat imbeciles on the head and placate douche bags for rude behavior, that's your business, but I'm not going to keep turning the other cheek over and over again simply because some theist tells me I should.
