ill remember that the next time my niece tells me shes a fairy princess that rules over the fairyfolk.

You may want to look up the definition of ad hominem...

do you even have your GED?

Again, i entreat you to look up the definition of ad hominem. The intellectually feeble attack the thinker, because they aren't competent to attack the thought. Try attacking the thought, instead of the thinker - if you are at all capable of it!

when one party has the same perspective as some one from the 1600s

I don't know what you're talking about, or why you believe you automatically understand my perspective without asking a single question about it. Are you a psychic? By the by, no educated in the 1600's thought the world was flat, and neither do I! Next time, try asking questions - instead of jumping to flawed conclusion!

we can't even agree on basic observable and verifiable facts

We don't need to! Agreement/consensus is for fools. We must be able to discuss and evaluate others perspectives even, and especially, when we don't agree! Otherwise it is an echo chamber of parrots repeating to one another and nodding in vapid unison. You can never learn anything new that way, ever! Do you feel me?

I agree that there are demonstrable observable and verifiable things. If you discussed my perspective instead of assumed, you would recognize that it is not our shared observations that differ - merely our interpretation of them!

you are unhinged from reality

Perhaps. Or perhaps it is you who is, or perhaps both of us! How can we best determine which is the case? Exploring questions like this is the purpose of the community I created! I invite you to explore and discuss/share your own views, as well as evaluate the views of others who have differing ones! It is a very rewarding experience.

to treat you as an intellectual equal would be like climbing in to the pig pen to debate the swine about the best industrial engineering processes.

I don't seek debate, as it is beneath me and for fools. I seek rational discourse and the collaborative pursuit of truth! Join me! I may not be your intellectual equal, however I assure you that you will learn valuable things if you discuss with me in earnest!
