See your whole first point here is that people can make patently and horrifically insane statements, and then claim that anyone who doesn't argue through the whole of morality to refute them is somehow "poisoning the well" or "holds no regard to the truth". Sure, if you want to debate all topics that's fine, I suppose, but you can also just punch the nazi instead of doing a three hour podcast with them first.
What are you talking about? The point of paragraph 1 is that Robinson misleads people and then scoffs. This is not a good way to do philosophy. Lots of things will sound weird when taken out of context, and using them to label philosophers evil, before lying about what they say is not productive.
