If someone's posting bad faith arguments I would rather not waste anyones time interacting with them, they're certainly not there to be educated.
Chasing them off with mockery seems like the least bad option, if the other options are giving it credibility by trying to respond or ignoring it.
The problem is discerning the difference between the two can be inconsistent, leading to some users effort posting while others mock.
Totally agree. Bad faith arguments don't deserve the time or effort. If you do spend the time, at least spend it aware other people than the OP may see it.
I also agree there is no reliable way to tell bad faith from good faith, at least before they contradict themselves, but that takes time.
