We do have recourse to other measures when a fool speaks folly: pay him no mind. His shriveled, naked soul speaks for itself and reveals his words to be mere smoke from smoldering fire.
I will not use his name nor will I continue referring to his opinions so as to strip away the dignity of their existence. Ignore a fool’s lies: that may be one’s strongest reply. Push untruth back into the darkness from whence it came. It does not deserve to have further light shed on it. Do not grant him the honor of debate. The truth is self-evident.
This ungrace can only be redeemed with stilled tongues, fervent prayer, full hearts and loving, determined action as the reply.
Just carry on in grace and truth—and act. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
