Surely, the premise of an argument and the body of facts should

which forms a counter-attack to destabilize an opponent's preferred
methods ?
If you mean that I should maintain my [b]righteous moral high ground and
not destroy it by name calling in the debate with him, and not to
stoop to his level of debate - I can probably agree with you.
Unfortunately, I have no interest to be self-righteous towards OM -
as I prefer to grind his arrogance into dust for daring to imitate
the evil art of the MIW to scare others into silence.
The ''Twirp'' label was already a
measured response to his crude attempt of trying to blow hot air in
other's directions when his understanding of the issues is similar
to ''an empty
can" and he will dare to make loud noise.
His attempt to stand even in the shadows of the MIW, and pretend to
be of the same cut as the MIW is simply done in the most
contemptuous manner towards us.
Should one be so generous to maintain one's righteousness in
treating charlatan like him ?
Even mushrooms have some worthy benefit to humankind, for OM to
pretend to be one simply tarnishes the entire mushroom
species.

You have aptly demonstrated why the majority of Singaporeans
will never give their votes to the Opposition, so long as hooligans
like you support them. Do them a favour...you only serve to
convince the electorate that Singapore under folks like you would
be less tolerant of alternative views, far , totally oblivious of
the rule of law and prone to gangster tactics
