Just curious. I don't doubt we all do it to some degree, but I wonder where people draw the line, if at all.

Online, this is rare because I usually balance the content of the ideas with who said it to determine whether I ought to ignore it or not.
Like if the Times of Israel posts some article that's titled something like: "new study confirms jews are better than Whites" I'm just going to completely discount the content without even bothering to look because I know it's trash and wrong to begin with. But if the Times of Israel posts some article: "New evidence suggests Out of Africa theory is wrong" I might take a look at the evidence and consider it true.
Depends what the content is and who says it...
As for completely discounting something because of the person who said it; well, I typically discount all things jews and women say if I know a jew or woman said it regardless of what the content is. That's my default position; however, still depending on what exactly the content is I might investigate it more. Depends how much I care and how important the content is.
