These people don't seem know that point of depates isn't the people departing but the listeners. They are the people you are trying to win over because that's what depates are great for.I'm getting too distracted by all the DISCOURSE on the BLACK QWEEN who spoke up against fascist violence:

Most people when they are in argument or depate, no matter how friendly, have made their mind on the topic and naturally are trying win and sound good. They aren't mentally in a place to change their minds, some still might but mostly no. People listening otherhand have don't have much to loose and so are more open hearing and comparing merits of different points of view. This can and does change minds, this why formal deaptes are used as a common tool in learning, politics and law.
So if you jump on a reasonable or common question with an attack you will come across as unhinged or unreasonable and so will loose support. It doesn't matter if the other side is asking in bad faith or to annoy you, as long as the listener finds the question itself reasonable or would ask it in good faith they want you anwer the question that way. People aren't after all just listening your points, but if should take your word on them. If you don't seem worth of listening, they won't listen you.
