General rule of thumb: if you have to resort to emotional name calling, you’re in the wrong; even if your initial argument is factually correct, the moment you let your emotions take over is the moment you’ve lost your argument.

And no, I am in no way saying this person’s argument is factually correct; especially since his argument is based on hypocrisy.

Nah, fuck you. I gots all kinds of emotions, having emotions doesn't mean you're wrong or you lost. Attacking the person you're talking to usually signals you can't respond to the argument, but sometimes people legitimately suck ass and you gotta call them out for it.

That being said, Israel is led by mass murdering psychopaths and they can all trip face first in a three inch puddle and lose consciousness.

I don't think you're wrong, but your logic has definitely been used to silence people in real distress because "they had to resort to emotions" or some such.
