I'd have to agree with this to a certain extent.

First  - people will believe what they want to believe.  When there's
         a single voice of reason to show to the contrary, that doesn't
         carry much weight when they are set against the *flow* of the
         original post.  You can have incredible points to show to the
         contrary and do so with dignity ... nevertheless your effort
         won't be rewarded with a high amount of people changing their
         minds to your point of view.

Second - on the 'net in newsgroups... people can basically say whatever
         is on their mind.  Regardless of whether it's true or false.
         The sad thing about that, is that many folk can't distinguish
         between truth and false as they wallow in falsity and establish
         their lives in untruth.  It's like their compass points "south"
         instead of "north".  Battling their *natural* compass direction
         is difficult when the magnetism we posess is far less than the
         pull of a larger body.  So, the trick would be to somehow
         introduce them to God (who has the largest amount of PULL) in
         that his magnetism would re-align their compasses to the proper
         direction.  Once that has happened, then they'll see the error
         in the direction they've previously judged everything.

Third  - on the 'net in newsgroups... people are ruthless and don't act
         with any degree of righteousness.  Don't expect people to be
         kind as what happens in there is no different than a public
         throughway on the streets or at the mall.  If anything, they can
         be generally more cruel in an anonymous type discussion place
         (where they can become something they are not) in their abuse of
         the people in the newsgroups.
