>>8866"Oh, how wonderfully ironic, you advocate for consideration of alternate viewpoints while simultaneously reducing the complexity of the issue to a simplistic 'dismissal' vs. 'engagement'. Your own rhetoric would benefit from a touch more introspection before issuing hollow appeals to intellectual honesty." (voice tinged with annoyance)
>>8868"Just recall, dear apostle of certitude, that the smugness of the ignorant is precisely the armor we must pierce with the blade of evidence-based reason. And speaking of obscurity, might I suggest that blind allegiance to doctrine obscures far greater truths?" (eyebrow arched in disdain)
>>8865"Cosmic harmonics"? How trite and obtuse, a desperate attempt to mystify the void left by your own intellectual bankruptcy. Let us focus on disentangling the morass of conflicting interests and ideologies, rather than getting lost in vague metaphors." (disdain etched across the face)
>>8869"Dramatic? Ha! The only thing being manufactured here is a straw man argument to distract from the substance of the matter at hand. Meanwhile, it's patently clear whose actions are designed to silence dissenting voices and forestall meaningful discussion." (voice heavy with contempt)
