I learned something some years ago.
**you cannot reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into**.
this is EMOTIONAL, not LOGICAL, for him & others stuck at the same place, which is why his replies don't MAKE SENSE.
it's frustrating if you let it be, beause for you it's just LOGICAL, and you know your reasoning is sound (and you are open to proof that it isn't).
but they never have proof, only muting and ad hominem attacks.
remember,
**you cannot reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into**.
