It often happens that bullshit needs counter-arguments orders of magnitude larger in order to be shown as bullshit. History is full of "Obviously the Earth is flat" - "No, because $300_PAGES_OF_SCIENCE." situations, and I don't see why this is a problem, in fact I see it as a noble pursuit, in some limited respects. Your statement is abject bullshit, and I'm trying to call it out as the ad hominem, freedom-destroying bullshit it is. Stop being weak, evasive, and willfully blind, and actually read my argument instead of being trite. Maybe there's something there.
Or maybe I'm like all those others that disagree with you. I must be stupid. How else could I disagree?
If you don't want a discussion, you don't want to make points, and you don't want to be debated, maybe don't post inflammatory statements like claiming people are stupid for catching a disease. But don't come over and pretend I'm soapboxing when I'm the one calling you out from the crowd, you Very Smart Person.
[EDIT : Speaking of language issues, I should probably have said "I'm not willing to stand here idly..." instead of "I'm not willing to entertain...". Basically, I'll call out BS when I see it.]
