Which is what you do by insulting them like you ' ve done above . Where have I insulted anyone ? Believe me , if I want to insult someone , you ' d know it . I have all the best insults . Anyway , the whole ' hearts and minds ' battle is very hard to conduct via the Internet . People filter out dissent too quickly , and you ' re dealing with people hardline enough to get online and talk about it in the first place . I have much better results face to face . In the workplace , several ' i voted leave because my dad did ' types are coming around to seeing the issues Brexit will cause . There ' s no shouting or insults , just lively discussion . Most leavers I know honestly didn ' t care that much and certainly didn ' t expect or necessarily even want things to change as drastically as they now will .
