There's a famous quote that I like by Rudyard Kipling:
This comment, offering calmness amongst the storm, intrigued me.
I see it as a call for people to be able to discuss things calmly and rationally. Certain facts within the statement e.g. "get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory" are definitely emotionally provocative (as are terms such as "everything" and "nothing"), but indeed that happens sometimes, i.e. everything is relative.
