I'm more worried about people trying to make themselves the authority on what is or isn't permitted to be deserving of engagement, than I'm about people advocating genocide. For one, there's a lot more of the former and they seem to be getting more all the time.
Advocating genocide (e.g.) is not deserving of engagement.
Anyone attempting to persuade you that genocide is in any way beneficial to humanity is not going to be persuaded by your "open and honest" counterargument. Their intent isn't even to persuade you. Their intent is to persuade other viewers of your argument that "reasonable people can disagree"
