19. I'm disgusted by ad hominem name-calling, regardless of which side is doing it.

If you've got a beef with someone's facts or policies, spell it out and back it up with evidence and reason.

If you can't do that, your objections are probably worthless, at least to me.

And p.s.: I really don't care who or what the source of someone's info or reasoning is, so long as it's correct; and if we're not sure if it's correct, I wish "journalists" would actually investigate it, instead of ignoring or disparaging what some authority, left or right, prefers to call "malinformation" and attacking the messenger.
