Back when I was me I said something like...

No matter how disagreeable we find *how* someone says something, it does not excuse us from examining the merit of *what* is said before we address such content intelligently.


I think it's particularly bad form to make any claims about an opponent's state of mind or intellectual inventory.
Such things are already evident, should they exist, and giving voice to the observation only reveals a shortcoming on the observer's end.
