I think you are too much concerned with "they brought it on themselves" and too little with "the substantial segment of the population is squeezed from a debate

  I fail to see why I should be concerned with people who have evinced an utter lack of concern for me. I've participated in many discussions and debates with such folk over the years, but my patience has limits.

    > I fail to see why I should be concerned with people who have evinced an utter lack of concern for me. Because you are on the same boat with them. If they overturn the boat, you'll fall into the water. I do not say that it is easy to be concerned, it is hard, because it leaves mind in the state of uncertainty: there are no known ways to tackle the problem. There are different ways to deal with it, but all simple ways (like throw them all over the board) are not acceptable and probably wouldn't work (some tried and it didn't turn well). These simple ways could bring mind into the state of peace: everything is decided, no uncertainty, they are the bad guys, we are the good ones, but what is more important to you: the peace of mind or a thinking process constantly seeking for ways to tackle a problem? People mostly choose peace of mind, because they have other problems to worry about. I do not blame them, anxiety is a thing that makes life worse. But as for me, people might be better if they learned how to live with uncertainty without having to worry about the part of uncertainty that is out of their control.
