    Usually when discussing a heated topic (politics, gun control-take your pick) and trying to discuss the facts of the matter in a neutral manner but the response comes back with every phrase super charged with morally loaded words. Examples of a conversation I had recently (emphasis mine):

    sure as hell isn’t PANDERING! What the fuck is wrong with you??

    Typical apologist tactic

    PRETENDING to care about the brutal slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians

    deflecting to your conspiracy theory

    shows that YOU don’t care enough about Palestinian lives

    It’s very pronounced on this site for some reason. I don’t know why.

      I assume the quoted part is all one comment from the other party?
      Just asking because the formatting looks a bit like conversation.

      Besides that, yeah it reads really immature and emotionally charged to the moon and back.
