I know this game. They aren't interested in scientific proof. They want ppl to know that they are right, the smartest and morally superior. Anything you show them will be shot down as "a bad study," or cherry-picked for out of context "facts." Then they change the goalpost.

I honestly believe that by the time we actually see them post, they're too far gone. I think people who are OTF just mainly watch and like comments. I try to not reply unless I am bored or just to put factual information on a thread.

Pick your battles wisely and this isn’t one of them. You may even get to sit on the Iron Throne.
