Logic and Tropes and Schemes are no longer taught in college these days, and Debate as a "sport" is not held in high esteem any more, so arguments in any online forum (or in the general news environment today) are rife with poorly-argued posts and positions.
ARGUMENT is not historically a derogatory or negative term, but it has become so in our current culture.
Represent your POV logically and then move on. Maybe listen to a few online college debates to learn how to express your thoughts or facts and see if some of that civility rubs off, as well as the logical and correctly-argued points.
All this would be much more interesting with the correct approach, and people's feelings would be spared the uneducated diatrabs that sometimes occur. Intelligence tempered by education is NOT a handicap regardless of what some people think today.
I would guess that those who revel in their lack of education still visit witch doctors when they are ill? Probably not, huh?
Cheers!
