But I guess the question is, what do you do when they just won't listen no matter how "nice" you are about it? Even worse when they keep throwing out ridiculous strawmen which bear little resemblance to reality, e.g. "ZOMG YOU'RE TRYING TO BAN BOOBIES!" or some related bullshit. Really, I can't believe that full-grown adults who supposedly possess a modicum of intelligence would carry on like this.
