I have provided a coherent theory and not only does nobody find anything wrong with it, they simply ignore it and then make comments about smelliness of my feet, bad breath and other personal denigration, as though that is a good argument. <don't stoop to try and present a coherent theory of your own, since, a) you can't and b) if you did it would be wrong anyway.>

In my decades of experience, when an argument I find compelling is met with that sort of thing, it is invariably because they haven't got any arguments so revert to a personal attack, which is the most pathetic argument of all. I'm long enough in the tooth to know that my ideas can easily be wrong. But if people can't explain why I'm wrong, I continue with the idea because it's probably correct.
