Few things annoy me more than willfully reductive, facile logic, even (especially?) when its used to argue a point I agree with or in favor of a cause I support. Doubly so when its accompanied with a shrill, defensive, or condescending tone directed at anyone who would dare raise a valid (even conditional or devils-advocate) counterpoint or mitigating circumstance. It doesnt help your (our) cause any. Nobody likes being talked to (or at, or about) that way. If you believe in your position, you can do the legwork to put together an airtight argument and let logic speak for itself. That, and please fact-check links and sources you cite, particularly when they are not of the scholarly, peer-reviewed variety. Seriously, facebook has turned all of the above into an epidemic.
