You don’t have to, but it would have taken less effort than your responses so far. If you’re not interested in someone’s question then you should probably just ignore it rather than write paragraphs about why you’re not interested in it, but you do you!

Actually it wouldn't. There are many arguments from fringe figures to more mainstream with various rationales. Much has been written about it.

I answered your question. The way I answered while a bit sardonic is supposed to make you think a bit. Obviously you don't appreciate it, but it isn't in bad faith.

Not everything has to be some sort of logical back and forth debate to get the point across.
