What can we do about it?
I would use dishonest tactics such as changing IDs to pretend that more posters agree with me than is the case, emotional arguments, ridicule, violence (as a last resort) etc in a desperate attempt to change their diseased minds. This is OK because they don't believe in logic anyway so I can't argue with them logically.

A wise man once said, "Once you begin arguing with a fool, you've already lost" and, "You can win an argument against an intelligent man, but not a fool" and finally, "The best response to a fool is silence".

Don't bother with them.

@OP

Why do you care so much what they think to the level that you'd be violent? What the fuck man?

Who gives a shit, move on.

Sure you might not be able to win it honestly but, as I said in @OP, you might be able to convince them using non-rational means.

OK, so maybe not violence but I think maybe the other things I said are necessary to try and stop them convincing others.
Would you want children to be taught by someone like that?

Perhaps you may be thinking too much? Sounds like you go round in circles getting nowhere and waste vast amounts of time. You get insulted by strangers in the process. Looks to me that a your life revolves around trying to win arguments and state the obvious in an elaborate way. Truth - what do you mean???? 'Truth' means different things to different people depending on their wiring, their culture, background, understanding etc etc. Its a general term. If you just made a simple example, using a straight forward real life situation you might realise that your question is meaningless. Perhaps you just misunderstand people? Communication cannot happen properly in forums. You all just misunderstand each other because you cant read sarcasm, see any facial expressions, tone of voice, intonation or any other body language etc. Misunderstandings create pointless threads. You really need to practice some real socialising!!!
