Do you feel that an individual is worthy of your scorn and derision,

simply for holding a different political ideology than you? Do you believe that your political position strengthened by bullying your opposition through ad hominem?

Depends on the ideology.

A hateful group, to be sure, but my question is, do you think that engaging in ad hominem when debating them helps strengthen your position? I would 100% agree that their ideology is worthy of scorn and derision, to be clear. @QuixoticSoul

@MildlyInappropriate I don’t think my position needs to be strengthened when it comes to nazis 🤷‍♂️

Debating them is also a waste of time. But mockery is good for the soul.

I feel you on that. I wish that I could always remain above the fray of stupidity, but sometimes I find myself down in the muck, slinging mud myself. @QuixoticSoul
