How do you argue? What ticks you off?

We've had a little spike in argument temperatures lately. Everybody has a different approach which changes by mood or medication.

I have a bad habit of ignoring input that doesn't fit my schema, like Obamas recent donut hole idiocy, and embracing stuff that fits, like the FOX News descent into racist commentary.

Right now tw is doing the lump everyone into the same bin thing with a cross-section of our conservative population. Attitudes and positions being taken by one are attributed to all. To me, it doesn't pass the sniff test. I can count on one finger (guess which one) the number of consevatives here who don't have a nuanced version of reality. Anyway, what pisses you off in arguments?
