If I read something and it's just super-intense wow how can you doubt me you scumbag, I immediately attempt to find evidence disproving it. Generally, I look for something that will contradict the stance, and the more intense the stance, the more I will look. If I find a source has been manipulative in the past, I lower the faith I have in them to be objective in the future. If someone makes some kind of desperate reach or strawman to "win," I wonder what else they are reaching about. The shorter the quote, the longer the original source text I want to find from which it was drawn, because so much gets taken out of context. Similarly, Twitter is too short to allow for nuanced commentary. If I can find notable hypocrisy from someone, well ... their worth goes to about zero.
