Hrm… I tend to get more a feeling of irritation/”GAH! SHADUPSHADUPDHADUP” (depending on mood/how bad it is)
The problem is, I’m not sure I can properly separate the “bad logic” reaction from the “how dare you argue against a position I support and thus implicitly challenge my status?” thing. (Actually detecting explicitly the bad logic is one thing, but the “feel” of it might just be that other feeling. ie, I might simply be noticing or remembering as more egregious the instances of bad logic that were against my position. Although I do find bad logic that supports my positions to be annoying too.)
Upvoted mostly for the self-honesty. I wonder sometimes if I’m more ‘forgiving’ of bad arguments for positions I already agree with. (Answer: probably, but unless I know how much it’ll be hard to correct for.)
I do find it pretty unpleasant when people hold my opinion for reasons that are… lacking, but I think this may be more of an allergy to cliché than to bad logic. I get the same sensation when I hear people intone individualist or liberal catch-phrases in full sincerity, regardless of how much I might agree with the sentiment.

From what I understand it is virtually impossible even if you do know how much to correct for. :)

I cringe with embarrassment, sometimes literally. It bothers me far more than when the mistake is made by someone with a contrary opinion.
