Just to augment or explain in a slightly different way: Coming in with the most abrasive terminology you can, and being aggressive convinces no one. People who disagree don't read what you say. And it can even upset people who agree with you. It just destroys communication.

I hate it when people do this. When I agree with them, I cringe, because it means my milder argument will not be heard. When I disagree, it has its intended effect and provokes me and leaves me angry.
