     Just have to realize that no meaningful dialog is possible with these guys.   
      
    They make a claim or present an idea.   
      
    We point out the problems with the claim or idea.   
      
    They address none of the counter arguments, they merely repeat the claim.   
      
    Rinse, wash and repeat.   
      
    In a robust exchange of ideas the truth can be determined. They know this,   
   which is why they avoid a robust exchange of ideas.
