        I never said people should “agree to disagree”, and people should debate opinions they think are bad. A good debate can show strengths and weaknesses of arguments.

          People have tried this for ages. It has not worked. These bigots are not debating in good faith. The only response is the verbal or legal equivalent of bapping them on the nose with a newspaper and going, “NO! BAD!”

          Debate does not work if they are not arguing in good faith
