One of the most disturbing parts is how the interchanges are so personalized. They quickly go from a discussion of different views to a demand that you defend your evil self - that you are somehow morally and intellectually a repulsive being for not agreeing.
I love this statement: "you defend your evil self" - perfect. And exactly that. The discussion stops being about the show and becomes about who is morally superior. And that's always a bad idea on the internet. That starts making things "personal".
Because once you make it personal? It's impossible to discuss anything rationally afterwards. You don't know the person you are discussing this with - what their back-story is or what happened to them that day.
