I really do believe that it's the best way, and I believe that's precisely why it seems to make people more upset. When reactionaries can't effectively counter what you're saying, and cannot dismiss you based on civility, they reach sharp contradictions between what they believe to be true and what they are seeing running against that. This causes stark reaction as the only way to cope.
Just what I've noticed.
