I "mock" what was written not the person and a picture paints a thosuand words
So which is better to write? "that is silly notion" is it not as good as "that is a really really silly notion that even at a stretch makes no sense"?
No, it's not better. Those are also not honest debate. You put up arguments and you justify them. You don't just talk about how something is silly.

Of course it matters. and the answer is arguably "yes".
Then debate the subject or not, but don't post insults just to do it.

So come along Steve cut to the chase. Go to the bottom line or reverse it and go beyond the top line as far as you want.
If the basis of the arguement make no sense either at the top or at the bottom then the whole arguement makes no sense and is a moment.
Feel free to chose your own top line as far up the weapons chain as you like.
If you can't debate the subject honestly, then don't comment at all. The bottom line here is that you are closer to the edge than you have ever been.

You have been warned.
