Spoken like an old hippy, who knows a bit about how to argue with political opponents. And an awful lot of movement people I've worked alongside never managed to learn that. Maybe if they had, we wouldn't be in quite this situation after all these years.

The only time you ever set out to annoy an opponent is when you have some reason to think that this will put them off their balance, and that this will help you. For eample, it might push them over the line, so that they lash out. That clearly doesn't arise in a forum like this, so it's a waste of words.
