Creating a dichotomy (a false one IMO, there are other options) then putting someone into it so as to accuse them of ignorance or guilt isn't productive, it just puts the other person on the defensive making them more likely to either retaliate or defend themselves.
In general telling someone else what they think, feel, how they're motivated, why they say something is confrontational and there's usually a better way to get the point across.
In addition it comes across as arrogant, which people generally don't respond well to. "can only be borne out of ignorance" is another way of saying "if you knew what I know you would agree with me."
Plus targeting the poster themselves rather than their ideas (i.e. discussing the poster rather than the topic) also invites confrontation over discussion.
