I sometimes like to argue just for the fun of it, but I do recognize that there are some arguments that are not worth getting into, or that the context is not suitable for an argument.

I try to restrain myself to calling out the most obvious hooey I see, because I think that there are some unsubstantiated but seductive ideas out there that are flat out dangerous if left unchecked.

I also try to pay attention to my vocabulary. My first choice above was not "hooey".
