I have an issue with people speaking in absolutes on subjects that are currently not black and white and there are no objective truths to fall back on. To say that the Engelland deal is objectively terrible and therefore anyone who disagrees with that is a homer (idiot) is absurd. Argue that it is terrible assertively all you want, but that is not what you've done. You have used a style of rhetoric that is lazy, ineffective, and that makes you seem like a bit of a rod.
