You are giving him a bigger platform here though which is the part you don’t understand, you keep feeding him and enable him to continue the lies when if you would just deprive him of a response, he would largely fade away.
And my response wasn’t just in regard to Zeth, it is in regards to multiple of them that all do the exact same thing. Just look at the whole plurality crap that was completely off topic but ended up making the thread harder to read due to people feeding into it.
I understand pushing back when they are lying and are getting traction from people believing it, but instead the responses they get are giving them traction in helping to make the relevant information harder to get to because it is surrounded in shit.
Edit: And if you really think they are debating in good enough faith to warrant a response, see if they are willing to start a new thread about that topic.
If they do, then continue it there, if it a topic others notice and want to participate it, then great. If they don’t, then they don’t want to discuss that, they just want to derail the topic you are actually discussing at which point any further response you give is helping them at which point you already lost the game they are playing.
