I think the root of the problem is that old saw : judge by what people do, not by what people say.
People say all sorts of weird and outlandish things, but that doesn't mean they'll do them. The idea that the word is the deed is the real fallacy and must be confronted at every turn.
Judge people by their actions. With that as a focus, it's a lot harder to be distracted by gadflies.
Thank you.
