They're certainly not ALWAYS well-reasoned. It's twitter - most things are not well reasoned. However things that are well reasoned are lumped in "as targets" for righteous anger, along with anyone who dares to point out the aggressive behaviour.

Since JK is the flavour of the month, she makes a good example. The first things she posted... Were there logical flaws in her argument? Yes. Was she spot on with the issues? Nope. Was she sharing a genuine concern for women's rights an welfare with misguided elements? Absolutely... Which is where discussion comes in, where you point out misconceptions and try to reach an understanding.

That is - very clearly - not what is happening. Anyone who is claiming that there ISN'T an increasingly militantly-observed set of opinions that are "right and wrong", again non-partisan, this applies to the outraged extremes of any ideology - is in my opinion being disingenuous.
