I just want to highlight the above as a prime example of a content-free response. When some kinds of people wish to refute a post but lack any substantive argument with which to do so, ridicule is a common choice. It can be an effective rhetorical technique; it is convincing to those who aren't paying much attention. Note how the post this was in response to contained a number of specific points backed with specific examples, and note how the above post doesn't even mention them, let alone address them.
