It does, however, mean that there is no value in talking about the issue in this context. It just gives credence to the assholes that they do not deserve.

With this I agree. Issues should be looked at by themselves instead of being part of some ideological battle. Personally I find most, if not all, things done in service of any ideology to be fairly pointless.

You're reading and understanding from the perspective of the authors. Others not privy to behind the scenes discussions may not have the same understanding because their perspective or the context in which they're reading the articles is different.
