People who think civility is weakness. I get the arguments against tone policing and all, but Jesus some of us just genuinely don't like being rude to other people no matter how big of an asshole the other person is.

People can whine about tone policing all they want: If they behave like assholes, express themselves like assholes and are rude as fuck, the chances of me listening to their arguments are pretty damn low and I don't care how valid they think the points they make are.

It's not even that, it's this weird implicit mentality that being polite and even-tempered when arguing to others is somehow kowtowing to the system. I see people talking all the time about how you're not obligated to be nice to privileged persons and (maybe it's just me whose internalized it this way) that's somehow turned into the idea that being belligerent, rude and disrespectful to ones opponent in a debate (even when said opponent isn't being belligerent rude or disrespectful in and of themselves they may just be uneducated and not realizing that what they said or did was wrong) isn't just okay, it's mandatory and if you are polite you're just and enabler or something along those lines.

This isn't very clear.
