When a person in his discourse interchanges a specific with a generality I see the recipe for confusion, confrontation, and contrary argument, which is to say the three-C's of mis-understanding ;-) have struck again. It is very important for me not to unravel an illogical presentation because the object of the enterprise initially is to mess me up with the muddy muddle of the argument. If I suspect insults or demonizing, it is a sign of anger and anger is a sign of weakness in any argument. I try to keep my plow straight. Responding to an opposing view offers the chance of opening a line of conversation leading to reaction instead of action. Reaction is a slave to action. Just my view.
