There's a case I read about in a book, 'How to Win an Argument', by a professor from York University. He talked about how there are different kinds of arguing. He gave the case of fanatics and said, "Here's how you deal with a fanatic." Then you turn the page, and there was one word: "Don't."

In columning when people utter untruths in order to defame somebody, if you enter into it and you are not expert enough, it just makes it worse. Some people are hell-bent. They have lost all sense of restraint. They have this sense of envy, and they want to criticize others, so they go about it wholeheartedly. That is basically their livelihood. So, sometimes, when people are fanatical like that, engaging more, especially on the internet—can become an endless proposition that becomes tit for tat, very difficult to untangle such a situation.
