Shaming and ridicule is the only way to combat "alternative facts". When the president can deny photographic evidence of his inauguration and he can deny scientific evidence of global warming. This emboldens many people. You cannot regulate or moderate them, you must ridicule them, shame him back into the Shadows.

I don't really get this. Sure some people may be a bit hard headed about their political beliefs but that doesn't mean it's ok to try and shame or mock them. Just give evidence that counters what they think to be true and if they still persist either ignore them or if they've gone too far with it and are breaking site rules then report them.

If only facts could counter "what they think to be true". If only ignoring them didn't affect us and future generations. A video game website is one place we can engage them outside their Echo chamber.
