How (not) to argue your point(s)

A general observation based upon some recent messages, and posted this way
to protect the guilty.  :-)

ills.shtml#foreword

Comments that disparage your audience are not likely to influence them in
your favor.  They can fatally damage your presentation regardless of the
facts and logic.  People are not computers; psychology matters when you are
trying to induce cooperation.
