That is rule number one to win at social media

Rush Limbaugh, who in a sense is the father of modern social media, gave the following advice about how to succeed, where success = simple market share ("followers," clicks, etc.):

1. If you take a position, insist it is %100 percent true, obvious to anyone with common sense, and nothing but purely good and wonderful that it is true.

2. Anyone who questions you must be attacked as an idiot, or a hater, a person not to be listened to, worthless, of completely devious and dishonest motives, and listening to them will surely lead to misery and failure in life.

It works! But this is just what the sophists taught as their "secret" back in the days of Socrates. It's an old trick to maximumize your gull rate while trawling marks for $$.

Amir sounds like a classic sophist. Sophistry is predictable, and boring, and a trick that once you see how it works, you rapidly lose patience with.
