An awful lot of the arguments directly target people (as in insults for an instance) and generally nasty stuff. Properly phrased arguments directly targeting the decision itself can cause doubt that it's a good idea, at least as long as my arguments can be proved and backed up. I tried it on HMP anyway, didn't help much, but it's definitely enough to back them into a corner. They more or less backed out of all opposing threads pretty fast. The communication channels shut down fast.
Real arguments is where it's at, and applying the proper arguments helps apply pressure.
