Here's an example of raising noise. There's no actual argument here, it's just attempting to discredit but without any structure to it.
> He wrote extensively about HG Wells bombs
It's possible, but I don't recall ever reading that, but fine. And what? A lo of people have done that.
> said bbc said it's real so must be real then
This is rhetoric. It's not meant to make a case that can be proven, it's meant to appeal to emotion by making something look stupid.
> This is Tommy Yakety Yaxley level stuff
IDK even what that is, weird references, not plain English, NOT making a claim that could be proven or refuted.
> Does no one even try to educate him?
Grandstanding, "There Ought To Be A Law" type of rhetoric... No claims.
> act like a scared little girl
What are we even talking about at this point. There's no argument, no claim, there never was, it's all appeals to emotion and related mumbojumbo.
This type of rhetoric is consistent with what you see when someone is trying to manipulate you. Now I recognize that manipulative rhetoric leaks into the culture and people start just using it without meaning to, so the robust assumption is that this was written in good faith.
But I'm going to say to Sam: Up your game, state your case in clear facts.
And to everyone else: REJECT this kind of emotional rhetoric with prejudice, because if you don't then you are opening yourself up to being manipulated.
