If you use the term harm reduction, they will never see what you want them to see.

As before, I don't care what crazy people think. I'm not wasting my time trying to convince unreasonable people to accept reason, and I'm not going to bend to suit what crazy people might accept.

I've spent many years trying to use reason as a tool for progress, and look where we are now. We're well past the point where reason is an effective tool. The crazy people have numbers on their side. Perhaps they always have, and it just hasn't been obvious until the last few years.

Sorry but you're still ignoring what I'm saying. Whether you talk to them or not, you're not even speaking the same language (see meme).

Frankly no wonder you're frustrated because you're talking past them, just like you're talking past me.

Who's ignoring whom? I'm not trying to change the minds of crazy people at all. I'm not "talking past them," because I'm not talking to them at all.

Except you, apparently.
