>Why do we need to attack something? If we can't explain and support our view that something is wrong or a bad decision without resorting to attacks, perhaps our argument isn't really that strong?
It's rather the opposite: if we don't resort to attack, comdent the practice, raise the tone, our argument will be weak.
That's because it's not enough to be right. It also need to be memorable and resontant. Else people's eye will just glaze over it.
