So consider a person who has not yet come to a moral conclusion about a question related to (using your example) eugenics, and thus by definition has supporting it in their decision tree. (2/4)

Is "punching" them (which I'm interpreting in this context as e.g. an immediate ban from an online community) the most productive approach? Or would something more rehabilitative, which could include convincing them via debate, be more productive? (3/4)
