One of the features of arguments is that accusing people who disagree with you of being hypocrites is popular. It doesn't lead to a good discussion, though. In this discussion, you're cherry-picking an extreme position in order to misrepresent and then accuse a lot of people who haven't expressed that far out of an opinion. The usual consequence of that is that you end up in a meta-discussion (like this one), instead of a discussion, and then everyone is unhappy.
