I do not bother trying to argue with obvious misogynists, racists, homophobes, as that would imply that they have an "argument" worth engaging with. I can't remember the exact wording, but Woody Allen once said something about how you shouldn't argue with fascists; you should beat them with baseball bats. I can get behind that.
How does one answer a question when there is no meaningful question to answer? How does one refute an argument when there is no real argument to refute? A madman stands on the corner screaming that he has proof that the world is going to end tomorrow. Do you bother to discuss his points rationally with him, or do you just move along? A hateful troll leaves a bunch of stupid nonsense on a page, and demands an answer to it. Do you try to reason with the hateful troll, or do you move along?
