Where does this hatred come from? Are people who choose to engage in rational discourse necessarily assholes? Why do you feel the need to call them such? My theory is that your comment comes from a place of fear and denigration of the other, those people who have different perspectives and value judgements and therefore that you don't understand and feel disgusted by. I was not hostile towards those who choose not to use reason for not using reason, I merely a promoted the idea of a place that is for reason.

Ohhhh, no, that's not it.

It's just that the type of person who is rigid about avoiding fallacies etc. tends to also be the kind of person that's absolutely unbearable and with too much free-time. AKA /r/iamverysmart

Reason is important, yea, but mandating it essentially limits those who can post to the type of person I mentioned before. Stick-up-ass, too much free time. I should know, I definitely used to be that kind of person obsessed with “reason” and “empiricism”. I was total asshole, and so were most of the people in communities that scream about how much they care about those two things.

I don't hate those kinds of people… I just avoid them IRL.

And please stop the armchair psychology, it's about as accurate as palm-reading.

Well I suppose that since black people "tend to" use violence (due to poverty) therefore it's perfectly reasonable to insult and denigrate them. Isn't it?
