The problem is really that there are so many FUD-filled talking points and conspiracy theories about systemd going round in circles that it's hard (at least for me) to tell whether somebody makes a genuine argument in good faith, if they also happen to mention what sounds like one or more of those talking points.

If I've established that someone isn't exercising good faith, I'll change course. Particularly if they spout disproved statements on exceptionally well-established points (scientific or similar topics, generally). There's enough genuine grounds for disagreement on the systemd debate (though yes, there's FUD as well) that blanket dismissals strike me as inappropriate. That said, yes, refuting frequently-raised points gets tedious.
