Good article. I endorse fire-fights-fire tactics IF used selectively. True story: One middle-schooler told another she was in trouble for a minor schoolyard crime. “What will you tell the principal when he calls you into his office?” No problem, said the miscreant. “I’ll just laugh about it.” No penitence. No defense argument. Just mock the situation and make it look ridiculous. We should mock foolishness to scorn, but ridiculing the truth is lying.
I don't judge anything that I don't regard the source of as legitimate as legitimate without extensive corroboration. It isn't my job to make their lies true.
