I am mostly a lurker here because of time constraints but I would like to
add one thought and a bit of Scripture to what Mike Cantrell has already
stated so well.
Posts that we disagree with that are once replied to with our rebuttle, only
become fodder for the original poster when continued beyond the first reply
ad infinitum. A simply stated disagreement and ignoring any future similar
comments will take the attention away from the disagreeable post or topic.

2 Tim 2:14
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord
that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the
hearers.
