Deadly internet bullying, OR ways in which the FF is like police brutality

So far, all I've seen is people coming to believe with greater certainty that you are genuinely wrong -- the only big change I see is that they're starting to suspect that you actually believe the things you're wrong about, and aren't just lying to start trouble.
Yes, I've seen them too. I think of them mostly as the usual suspects. LOL No, I've no firm evidence that anyone here is taking me seriously. It's a hunch and it may be hokum; we'll see.

Can you describe anything other than someone you've categorized as "the usual suspects" becoming totally convinced of your claims that would lead you to consider that perhaps your evaluation is inaccurate?

It seems to me you've carefully constructed a set of ways of dismissing anything anyone says to you which makes it quite literally impossible for any set of events to convince you that you have made any kind of mistake in your analysis or evaluations. The "usual suspects" are categorically dismissed, and anyone who shows signs of arguing against your positions is declared a Usual Suspect.

This doesn't sound healthy.

Again, exactly so.
