Yup. Because letting some random Rat activist make up shit that has been refuted by at least 200 people in the know and letting it go on like it is nothing because we must take the high road has been so successful in the past.
Making up shit is not a response for making up shit. You beat them with the truth.
I've used this analogy over and over.
If you work at a zoo, and a monkey starts throwing poop at you. Do you:
1. Tranquilize the monkey and move it to another area.
2. Step away from the flinging poop.
3. Drop your pants, take a big old steamer in your hand, and fling it back.
Hint the mentally stable, adult answer is not #3. Nor does #3 actually accomplish anything in regards to ending the poop flinging.
