Hazard: literally everyone does this, so what's your point?
Just a heads up to people: logic does not win arguments, storytelling wins arguments. Only very few of us have enough training to reconsider theories when evidence is found to be faulty, and we don't even do that reliably.
Geth told me he's going to take a break from the politics forum for a bit. What you all have managed to accomplish is to make someone run away. Was that what you were trying to accomplish? I guess feeling "right" about something feels good but honestly you haven't managed to convince anyone of anything.
Next time, try storytelling. Try to understand your audience, and tell a story that they are ready to hear. Take away the context, and slowly add it back in -- or just try from a different angle entirely.
Don't feel too badly about it, God had the same problems. Tried telling people what not to do several times, and they kept doing it. Eventually he told a story with Jesus that follows all of the tropes of the hero's journey, and humans paid attention more.
