This is a thing that nobody on SI should ever ever do. It is beyond impolite. It kills discourse. I believe that it is supremely important to recognize, separate and address only the points that the other person actually brought up.

I know you believe in freedom, Michael. I submit to you the axiom that we can only be free if we understand that we are all individuals and never subunits in some convenient collective, even for a moment.

That is why any post that directly or indirectly addresses a real or imagined collective - "you liberals" or "you anti-Catholics" or "you pro-lifers" is already and irredeemably a departure from reason.
