Been there. Skimmed four fucking Youtube links. Reported back to explain in detail why the other guy was wrong about all of them. Didn't work.

This is why enforced civility is a failure of moderation. People need the ability to say, "fuck off." Not just "I strongly disagree and question your motives and blah blah blah." We must be able to communicate: this is stupid, you're being an asshole, polite consideration would be lending undue legitimacy.

Otherwise any stupid asshole can blather on about whatever and demand to be treated like they have a point. Mods who don't remove those people pre-emptively don't understand their role. Mods who actively protect those people are bastards.
