    Don’t bother trying to change their minds, you won’t do it. It’s generally done in bad faith.

    Instead, aim to make other readers think. An uncontested comment is seen as supported by the larger community. Just contesting it makes a big difference. If you can educate, at the same time, all the better.

    The right has been using this trick for years. It makes their opinion seem disproportionately supported.
