Are you incredibly stupid?
Now, this above statement looks like that I am personally insulting you. But for clarification purposes, it was directly quoting from the thread. Being presented like this, it has no context at all about where I am bringing this example from. Obviously, I am making this clear in my example, because I am not the type of person who needs to resort to personally attacking people. But there is difficulty in trying to read a distorted post, where you are randomly using these "quotes" jumbled up with your own statements attacking another forum member.
Your presentation style is clearly antagonistic, and honestly, this should have happened sooner. Approximately two threads have been cleaned, one locked, and one deleted, all due to your responses and incitement. The Backroom whilst covering topics which are more prone to these sorts of replies/behaviours, doesn't condone such a toxic atmosphere. If you want to retort these base arguments and aggression, then I recommend engaging those types of discussions on forums which facilitate that attitude and atmosphere.

"Are you incredibly stupid?"
Is it accurate? or is "ignorant" or "willfully ignorant" more precise?
Why not challenge the person by contributing a source which gives an opposing opinion, explain what that opinion is in simple words, then say something like "I feel this and this better reflects the reality of immigration". A reply like this is far more constructive and allows the person to re-evaluate their position,
By insulting someone during a debate, all you do is cause them to become defensive, and simply start ignoring any points you are trying to make, thus preventing your argument from seeing the light of day. It becomes a issue of "Legs vs the world" rather than discussing why argument b is better than argument a, in your opinion.

So I should have written something like "your claim is entirely false, anyone who wanted to make such a ridiculous claim should have had the intelligence to look at a neo nazi rally before they made such a silly statement as it is clearly contrary to reality and entirely unsupportable by fact"Why not challenge the person by contributing a source which gives an opposing opinion, explain what that opinion is in simple words, then say something like "I feel this and this better reflects the reality of immigration".
