Unfortunately, I am of the mind that a person should be given every 
chance to try to understand another person's position, including my own. 
As such I have often been quite critical of the instant jumping on some 
people on certain blogs, when they show up and start either repeating 
the same things, over and over, as though, if said enough times, they 
might turn out to be true, or copy and pasting things from their 
favorite "this is true because I read it on the internet!", websites. 
Sometimes.. such people have simply spent so much time in an echo 
chamber of their own positions, that they have never been challenged.

Unfortunately, I am too kind, and.. there is no less kind moderator, to 
say, "Come back when you have fact, not just accusations and libel, or.. 
next time, you won't be coming back."
