Personally, it&#x27;s because it&#x27;s not worth my time. Why should I have any sort of dialogue with such people when it&#x27;s not going to be productive and will provoke a massive amount of vitriol? At best, it&#x27;s unproductive, and at worst it&#x27;s career-ruining.<p>I think that most people think the same way, and as a result there are absolutely no consequences when the activists go from &quot;challenging&quot; to &quot;outright hateful.&quot;
