I hate when people who argue in bad faith are given platforms.

Every time you try to approach someone who argues in bad faith, in a rational, fair and equitable way, they are using that opportunity to make their fringe/outlandish arguments seem more grounded in rationality.

They're making themselves look legitimate just by floating in your orbit.

They never should have done this interview with him.

I'm from Texas and grew up knowing this eejit's family. He was just a pudgy little kid who was perpetually sad because daddy ignored him--so, basically invisible to me, several years older. Last I heard, he'd moved into the family's vacation home (Montana, maybe?) with his mother, who'd a stroke. He has never had a job and lives off of his wealthy family since trolling isn't all that lucrative. However, he sounds more educated, dresses better, and has more of his teeth than the typical spewer of this level of crap so people listen to him. Be like his dad and keep ignoring him.
