> When you get all worked up over the way people are talking, you have allowed them to seize control of the debate
Getting people worked up is a very potent political strategy –– and it is very effective at defusing the power of the other side. You're absolutely right that it allows the other side to seize control of the debate. I really wish more people would respond to craziness with calm compassion; our political world would be VERY different.
