For a while now some guy and I have been exchanging comments on this YouTube video:

You can go back and read the entire conversation, but it essentially degrades into ignoring every problem I point out, telling me to just watch other videos, and this gem:

@conspiracyscience Very funny! You really are some piece of work! Now you are defending your friendly neighborhood "cleaner living" baby killers!!! And you say Alex Jones wants to kill people and condemn him for wanting to defend himself and his family from the NWO slave masters, heh? Evangelicals are not the only ones who know history. There is theory and fact. I didn't lower the bar. Your weak and pathetic rhetoric did. Adios, Cypher! Enjoy your ignorance!!

How do you respond to such stupidity? I wasn't sure, so I just said:

@wheelsafire18 Uh.. yeah, okay. Great way to ignore facts and just resort to name calling.

Sometimes he goes away for a couple of weeks and then comes back, but he's made it clear he believes in pretty much every conspiracy theory there is. Which makes me wonder, does YouTube make people crazier, or would these people believe things as easily without fancy videos?

"I think we'll look back and facepalm at the time wasted on infants."

You have to remember that the goal usually isn't to win over the person you're arguing against, but just to make sure that any 'spectators' don't fall into their bullshit trap. That's the way I always look at it at least.

A bit more on topic: Haters gon' hate.
