Make Your Damn Bed 1532 || why you can't argue with a BFA
Bad Faith Actors (or BFA's) don't give a fuck about the argument itself, they're playing a very different game altogether.

PROBLEM #2: You are validating and platforming the position of the agitator, even if you “win” because (see problem #1).
