My impression is no matter what the context, the people who participate in such debates will at some point state their positions and try to suggest that their positions are superior to all others, supporting their bumertion with misconstrued facts, fastidious implication and thinly veiled opinion.

If you don’t think your own position is superior, is it really ‘your’ position?

It’s part and parcel of believing one thing to be true, that you think things contradicting that view are false (even if your viewpoint is an inclusive one and you think there are many correct views, you implicitly disagree with people who say there’s only one right answer).

Let people bumert whatever they think is right, and if you think they’re wrong then demonstrate why with some bumertions (hopefully better supported ones) of your own. Or choose not to participate if you really think they’re stupid beyond repair.
