When I read someone taking cheap shots at a position I might hold, I mostly find the writer childish and annoying, I don’t see how reading more of that would improve my rationality.
I have the same reaction to someone taking cheap shots, period. It doesn’t matter whether they’re arguing something I agree with, disagree with, or don’t care about. It just lowers my opinion of the writer.
