> Richard Dawkins tweet after tweet of him just arguing with stupid trolls, you're supposed to be a respected academic yet here you are wrestling pigs in the mud because for some reason you feel you have to win every argument.
The world is full of "stupid trolls". If you ignore them bizarre things would happen like people starting to believe AGAIN that the world is flat.
- szatkus 10y agoI think that there are enough of internet warriors that someone like Dawkins doesn't have to involve in those arguments. Also making someone change his mind on the internet most of the times is close to impossible, so it's usually pointless.
- namaemuta 10y agoIt's not only that. People making searches can end up finding those tweets. If the only thing that they see is the wrong statement of trolls, they can think that those statements are true. On internet, repetition is assumed as real so if only the wrong things are repeated, then people will accept them as truth.
