This uncomfortable feeling must be part of the reason extremists put so much energy into portraying anyone who disagrees with them as an other-side extremist, or at best an intentional moderate (http://paulgraham.com/mod.html ).

The existence of moderates must be unsettling to extremists. If everyone who disagreed with them was an other-side extremist, they could feel more confident that they were right. But they must wonder where we get our opinions, why we sometimes agree with them, and sometimes not.

If there's another way of disagreeing with them besides being an other-side extremist or intentional moderate, what is it? It must suggest alarming hypotheses when the extremist compares his neatly matching set of opinions with the variegated ones of accidental moderates.

For an extremist, any dissenting opinion is like a drop of crude oil in a gallon of water: it contaminates the entire thing and makes it undrinkable. "If you're not with us, a 100%, you're against us"
