    By the way personal attacks don’t make you seem more credible Just for future reference.

      Whining about people being rude to you online doesn’t help your credibility much either.

      There is research on this: Generally, when talking to someone online, remaining completely respectful to someone who’s spitting in your face rhetorically speaking actually makes your argument less effective.

      I’m still talking factually, sure. I’m actually not making any kind of personal attack, I am just being sarcastic a little. But I am not pretending that I respect your point of view, because your point of view doesn’t deserve respect. You keep getting all emotional and just repeating over and over how you are sure that it works, and I keep sending you examples and citations. We are not the same.
