For all those people out there that resort to snide comments, unnecessary insults and childish name calling when trying to prove their point, let me be very clear here, no matter how clever or witty your comments might seem to yourself or others, they do not — and NEVER will — qualify as an evidence based rebuttal. Point. Blank. Period. If — in your mind's perception — you are convinced that you are aligned with objective reality, and the person you disagree with is not, then you should be able to establish your position with verifiable objective evidence without having to resort to insults, it's really very simple. If you cannot do this, however, then you need to muster up the courage and strength to acknowledge that your perception is not so firmly rooted in objective reality as you so credulously believe, and is instead (at least partly) under the influence of a skillful illusion or half truth. This acknowledgment is especially important when that illusion, or half truth, encourages you to become unnaturally defensive, and impulsively insult and attack others who themselves are not actually attacking or insulting you personally, but simply presenting evidence that challenges your point of view. Our goal should always be to align ourselves with objective reality — and therefore the Truth — rather than public perception and popular opinion.
