To me, a bad argument for something I disagree with feels like frustrating rudeness or obstruction, even if I have no reason to believe the misargumentation is intentional. I suppose, in a way, it is: the perpetrator has an intention to persuade someone of their (wrong) view, and they are at least negligent in their poor reasoning if not actively dishonest. Physically, it’s like the symptoms of mild anxiety with a hint of anger.
A bad argument for something I do agree with feels similar, like unhelpful interference, but with a dash of embarrassment thrown in. I suppose it’s likely I don’t notice as many bad arguments for things I believe as for things I don’t.

Hence the phrase “logical rudeness”.
I’d vote this up 10 times if I could. :)
