Tone arguments are not necessarily logical errors; they may be invoked by those who agree with the substance of an argument who nevertheless may feel that the argument, as posed, is counterproductive to its intended purpose.
Hmm, I guess I can still shrug off tone disagreements, because my arguments are rarely intended to convince someone. I mostly just try to exchange information. If people don’t want my information, or give me noise instead of information, that’s ok and I go talk to someone else. Sorry, this is not meant as a statement of superiority, but it seems to work pretty well for me.
