Sorry that I took so long to respond, I had to look up the word 'recalcitrance'.
No, you have to stop playing 'hear no evil, see no evil' bleeding-heart nonsense. There is a time to rebuke and to scold. If a Christian cannot recognize hypocrisy and misguidedness, then how are we to be the 'salt of the earth'?
QT, not to use your own words against you, but it is you who entirely misses, both the point, and the crime.
One must apply mercy when one deems it appropriate - when one perceives sincerity in truth seeking, or corrigibility. These people, on the other hand, are incessantly stirring up hatred, embracing conspiracy theories, and the most indicting aspect of their views, is their odious and unabashed admiration for Donald the monkey, train-wreck Trump.
It's not always about mercy and compassion, QT, as you obstinately continue to make an appeal to. Jesus also brought a sword to divide, he also called out the 'hypocrites and white-washed tombs' on their double standards, and also violently turned over the tables in the market place.
This is not an excuse for abuse, but a disdain for complacent Christians, who refuse to get confrontational under the guise of mercy, and naive and thus, destructive, 'forgiveness'.
