My point is that they're out in the open now. Gradually, decent people will stop verifying, patiently debating, and finding other ways to give them the benefit of the doubt. I passed that point a long time ago.

The harder they push, the more resistance they create.

If you take a deception and remove the element of anyone being deceived, what do you have left? One person clearly misleading another. What do you do in that situation, when you find out that you are indeed facing a bad hombre that wants to take advantage of you?
