For those who define their identity by their ideology, belief systems become as essential as digestive systems, psychological vital organs producing purpose and meaning like pancreases produce insulin. As a result, they take an attack on their views like a punch in the gut.
Since you're a fan of clear thinking, I thought you might like to know that your tweet is an example of a logical fallacy known as ignoratio elenchi.

I’ve had to mute this person a while back for hostility, insincerity and dishonesty, and can no longer see what they tweet anymore, so the context of your response is lost on me. I suggest ignoring them or dropping me from the thread. Cheers.pic.twitter.com/SGuwplqXea

For what it's worth, they accused you of "kicking crutches" (don't ask me why).

That sounds fancier than saying I was attacking a strawman. So to be clear, 1. do you see yourself as someone who doesn't define your identity via your ideology and 2: would it bother you at all to find out you have similar sensitivity to those you are finger pointing at?

1. Yes. 2. Another logical fallacy (loaded question).
