A bad start. How do you expect it to continue? People are going to react, if not to the content, then to the tone of the message. And your tone make it much easier to attack the message.

So, we have a topic that is already heated from the start. And then someone will make another heated counterargument, and others do it back, and everyone is pissed off.
