Yeah, these are both basically it for me. There's a very specific visceral reaction that comes when I know that someone is going to coerce me to go along with their opinion but clearly doesn't have the grounds to actually convince me of their opinion.
It makes me want to go full "I will burn down your home, salt your fields, and dunk on ALL your takes", even if I'm otherwise reasonably sympathetic to their position.
