@mttaggart It depends on the forum. You aren't going to sway the block-worthy person by that response, and it's absolutely not reasonable to go through the effort every time (that way lies xkcd 386); but for every troll, there's ten or a hundred or a thousand people on the sidelines just reading. Those are the ones that might be worth trying to reach.
@mkj @mttaggart If you're dealing with bot-like activity from a disinfo operator, that exchange is fairly likely to end there with your reply as the last word. If you're dealing with a convert or true believer, they will follow up with more false-equivalence whataboutery, outright fabrication, decontextualised screenshots, etc. None of this will be original, it's all tested stuff from the lie factories. The view counts for all this will drop to nothing within a few iterations, and It's hard to justify spending the time.
