This is an example of why you generate so much animosity
here. You are calling your opponents "less intelligent".

I call it the MASH effect (from the TV show). That show, which
was otherwise excellent, continuously lectured on liberal issues,
and (at least early on) portrayed conservatives as stupid and
bumbling. The message is clear: if you disagree with us, you
obviously are less intelligent.

Berating your opponents is not a rhetorical argument. Its basically
childish. Get over it. People disagree with you. Thats life.
