What is the guidance regarding commenters who are obvious trolls, propagandists and bad faith actors?

Being kind to them is completely wasted effort.

Replying to them is also wasted effort as they won't be persuaded.

However leaving bullshit unchallenged might make trusting bystanders believe that this is actually the truth.

Polite factual refutation probably works.

yea I tried that. I posted links to all my sources as well as opinions from credible human rights organizations. they just play the game of being obtuse to the very end and then gaslight you about needing to backup my opinions as if there weren't at least 2-3 inks for every assertion I make.

one side of this debate is very much NOT acting in good faith because they rely on the status quo being maintained to continue what they are doing
