Yet you've explained the reason behind your participation here thusly:
I've stated my reason for being here: to keep myself on the cutting edge of emerging rhetorical trends, so I can practice my responses and tear down stupid ideas on both the left and the right when I encounter them in meatspace.
If you're not interested in effectively communicating with stupid people, how is there any value in learning to tear down their arguments? Essentially, you're admitting here that your only audience is yourself: you're practicing tearing down stupid ideas held by people you don't care to communicate effectively with, and the only people you care to communicate with aren't going to hold those stupid ideas.
