Don't "freeze them out of the debate!" Pursuade them to see things differently! The definition of "rhetoric," is pursuasive speech!!!
Many of these folks are "almost pursuaded"(old hymn title) already. That's why they come on here arguing, because they aren't too sure they're correct in the first place. It's kinda like bowling... Set 'em up... Then bowl 'em over!!!
Conservatives never "win" anything by "shunning!" That's bad stategery!!! Socrates did it best by asking rhetorical questions in series, until a person "bought in," thinking the correct answer was their idea... all along!!! It works everytime it's tried...

Many of these folks are "almost pursuaded" No, you missed the point!
I was talking about the professional trolls who will never be pursuaded. By carefully NOT replying to their bait, their impact can be reduced.
