Your Evidence Means Nothing- Time to Disengage
As usual, I was being berated by an anonymous "GMO-free" account on Twitter, and also as usual, responded with kindness and tact.
Another nameless account joined in the Folta pile on, responding to my tweet about Vandana Shiva being invited to give a talk at the FAO. He reminded me about the "terminator" seeds that never were actually commercialized.
I guess I was not surprised to get such a response. I asked about why someone would listen to aggressive hate groups over a pubic scientist's actual record.
I offered a few words about my knowledge of the subject, but that was met with disdain. I sent a link to my CV so he could understand who I really was and what I really do.
It was the best response I could have imagined. It was the line I needed to drop engagement, block, mute, etc. When people do not accept evidence and instead trash others based on what they think, they don't deserve your time and attention. Trolls. Spend your time influencing others that are willing to learn, and at least consider evidence before making decisions.
