I never said it was tactless to address lies or irrational viewpoints but it can be done with tact, humility and kindness.
Going all out on the OP headstrong who is relatively new on the boards is something that must be taken with great caution.
Even though his views might seem naive or cultish to others, we can still question the OP with humility and address his views with whatever counterarguments and questions with kindness.
Some new posters who aren't thick skinned or get easily offended might get discouraged easily which is why I try to take the nice approach when dealing with such ones.
Anyways thanks for your response. Have a good day.
