Unfortunately many that are considered WUMs can be true believers in what they saying. Put me on a forum that is very right wing and I sound like a WUM.
We can't moderate opinion so unless someone truly outs themselves it's tough.
And honestly, if folks ignored the bait, it would help tremendously. Or if it bothers you that much, put your vaulting skills to work and find real proof on the forum they are mispresenting themselves.
