This kind of response is what you expect from the dogmatic only, and being
dogmatic is a simple reason NOT to use logic. Also your response suggest you
don't like to think too hard about what you're doing,  and why you're doing it.
It must be the power of commercials: "Just Do It!"

Your kind of flame is simply pathetic.
