8. A lot of that garbage gets vomited by posers, trolls, and the like

They're from the other side or working for it knowingly/unknowingly. But the facts of the matter, regardless of where right and wrong lie, pale beside the undeniable fact of their philistine behavior.
The purpose is only to stir up and distract. They know group members aren't going to be swayed by their arguments when they lack the common civilized courtesy of respecting proper boundaries. And they know how badly they behave, because they'd hand you your head on a silver platter if you went to one of their groups and challenged them in the least. Hell, they try to decapitate you here, where they don't belong at all. I learned a long time ago not to listen to bullies.

But I look forward to the time when such intruders are dealt with more swiftly, effectively and permanently. I'm told that's being done behind the scenes, but it would be encouraging to see more results out front. That's the main persuader, no matter what level of personal trust we might harbor.
