Of course there are many others, but these are the top ten search phrases that hit on this blog today:
“How to deal with dementia?” Do you suppose those queries hit on how well I deal with demented commenters, or the fact that I deal with them at all?

Come on in, the water's fine. Come often: Cleanliness is next to godliness.
Or, until that account is unsuspended by the forces supporting Donald Trump:

Retired teacher of law, economics, history, AP government, psychology and science. Former speechwriter, press guy and legislative aide in U.S. Senate. Former Department of Education. Former airline real estate, telecom towers, Big 6 (that old!) consultant. Lab and field research in air pollution control. My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Most people are simple people.
Ed and Ellie are simple people.
They grew up with the chattering idiots in all their ears – idiots that told the simple people “we are your authorities, listen to us”
As simple people like Ed and Nellie (and others), they trusted the chattering idiots and what they said, and held to their souls as a “truth”.
When a simple question on principle lands at their simple feet, they are dumbfounded. The “authorities” never gave the simple people an answer to this question, so they do not have an answer.
So they try to think. They try to figure it out for themselves.
The answer they get contradicts their world view that the “authorities” told them was the truth.
Something has to give.
The simple people give up thinking, and obey their authorities.

But, I could be wrong. It could be because of the fact that you deal with them at all.
