This isn't a rational position. "As long as the other side uses illogical arguments, then I should use illogical arguments as well." It also helps extremists frame the conversation, whereas we should be rewarding rational nuanced conversations. Don't give in to the theatrics. Don't get suckered into trying to counter one extremist argument with the other. Empower those of us who are rational by marginalizing extremist and hyperbolic participants.
