i don't always engage the shills, but when i do…
sometimes i tell them to remember a time when they were young and people were laughing at them and they were crying.
sometimes i tell them went their point is invalid, and that they are supporting pedophiles, but we love them and they can still change.
i agree that sometimes allowing someone approval slide is pointless. if we are watching a movie, it's OK to shush people when they are out of line… just don't allow it to become a divisive squabble.
