On another forum, which I was formally a member of, I accidentally trolled a community by asking what I thought was a fairly simple question, which resulted in the thread being shut down. I was accused of ignoring reality though I presented hard data and was only offered anecdotal evidence in return. This is not my first encounter with irrationality, but it is always very mentally fatiguing, and makes me question why I even bother. How do you stay strong in the face of irrationality?
