Depends on your argument, doesn't it? If it's a normative conclusion then it by definition ultimately rests on one or more personal values.
The only times feelings/opinion don't matter are if you are making a strictly is/fact based argument/conclusion.
- swebs 8y agoThere are certain scientific topics that have become politically charged for one reason or another, where arguing on the stance backed by science is considered heresy. You can be downvoted, banned, and even doxxed or harassed depending on how polarized the online group you're posting to is. Even if the proof you provide would be sufficient for any other topic, it will be meticulously picked apart and dismissed for any reason at all that they could scrounge up. People have already decided their conclusion and think any evidence that conflicts with it must be faulty.
