The intellectual rigor of our opponents

[BobcatJH]

I didn't really think this even needed to be said - I figured it was understood among intelligent adults - but I'll say in anyway. If you're going to come to progressive sites to criticize something we write or stories we cite, you've got to do better that what you've been doing. You've got to do better than plagiarized "studies" by discredited "experts" who run known hate groups. You've also got to do better than grammatically incorrect, sexist, childish responses. And you've got to do better than hateful rhetoric and flatly wrong assertions. Word to the wise, if you want us to take you seriously, avoid advocating that people be put in internment camps.

Amateur work, really. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight, people. Now, in some dark corners of the Internet, this discussion would lead some to accuse us of trying to show everyone that we're the smartest people in the room. Far from it. We're just trying to prevent you, dear critics, from looking like the dumbest.

people that are still playground bullies and care not about who they harm, and actually take delight in the suffering they cause.

3. Give the freeps a break

The sad news is they're doing the best they can. The sadder news is they're not likely to get any better. The saddest news is that I really have to work myself up to (metaphorically speaking) kick the crutches out from under the crippled kids. But they really invite it sometimes.
