The opposite approach would be to, yes, respond to basically every post. Double down to the posts arguing yours, tell others "thanks for contributing!" or "and your opinion would be..."... that sort of thing. Then as you get more responses, get really sarcastic with it in a completely told-you-so way, grandstand for your original argument, breaking down quotes and arguing each sentence individually. You'll need a decent collection of memes and gifs as well.
The middle of the road approach, more of a diqlix thing, would be to respectfully debate for 3 days, but with little bits of snark every few posts to bait people along. Put together some big rational post, but with a little dig at Mahomes or just a little Brady ballwashing. Then 3 days later, say you never even said Brady was better than Mahomes and that you didn't really hate the decision, you were just thinking about injuries... basically retract the entire thing in hopes of being able to hear people's heads explode over the internet.
And you could just repeat your same points over and over, as something so simple would still produce hundreds of responses... if it's one thing we love around here, it's talking about the same points again and again.

Haha, thanks? I don't know if you're familiar with me or my 56,000 posts, but I know how these conversations go, and I'm no stranger to fleshing out a discussion.
Truth of the matter is, I posted the OP, then went back to what I was doing, then returned an hour later and the dunk party was on. No harm no foul, let the kids have their fun. I don't look at a thread full of furrowed-brows and think to myself "what an awesome opportunity for a productive conversation to test philosophies and learn about football."
Like I said, absolutely no harm no foul.
I don't think I'm under any kind of obligation to ruin the party by trying in vain to have a productive conversation. But I'll re-read the community standards.
