    These are the rules for online engagement that I've tried to self-impose: Strive to accurately characterize opposing views, resist the temptation to smugly dismiss, and attempt to respond to criticisms in good faith even when the criticizer may appear to be operating in bad faith

        I've failed to uphold these rules many times, and will undoubtedly fail in the future. But I've tried to make them guiding principles

        Much of what passes for "a view" on Twitter is regurgitated self-righteous dogma. You literally cannot win, or even have a real discussion.

        The best way I've found to do all that hard work is to offer citations to the comments whenever offering rebuttals. Of course this gets refuted by a simple catchall "fake news" response.

        what does the intention of the person who offers criticism if it is accurate matter? Isn't right right and wrong wrong no matter who should point it out? Or does right and wrong depend on the standing of the person that reports it?

        What's the use trying? They will not listen to facts. When confronted with same, they will begin name calling. Have discussions with people on your side. For the other - they chose the rules of engagement, I accept them.
