Not sure if it's best to ignore them or to engage them in an effort to point out their logic. Both options seem fruitless. Ignore them and their idiotic and often times hateful messages freely spread through their part of the internet. Engage them and you just give them more attention and perhaps more mainstream attention if you're someone with an audience. Even if you engage them and make them look fools, it doesn't matter to them or their audience since they are not listening or having a discussion in good faith.
