How do you deal with this level of ignorance without losing the will to live? I'm open to any suggestion. I've been threatened with a ban if I repeat the "lie" that energy from the sun reaches the surface of Earth.
No matter how correct your arguments may be, if someone chooses to be dogmatic about their position, no amount of reason will convince them otherwise. So you have to find those people who seem to be genuinely interested in science. You need to find those few people who have an open mind and can, in fact, be convinced by the scientific evidence.
The dogmatic people pride themselves in their immovable stance. Meanwhile, someone who is actually interested in truth won't be like that.

Keep up the will to live Trixie, there are still some people left on this little planet that act and think reasonably
But, seriously, this admin you're talking about seems to have a problem with coherence. What is "historiographically sound historicity of the scholastic method" supposed to mean?
