Pixy points out an interesting article on types of arguments.
From Pixy:
Briefly put, Type C arguments discuss the consequences of an action: X is a bad idea, because if you do that, Y will happen. Type M arguments, on the other hand, relate to the motives behind the action: X is a bad thing because you're only doing it to get Z.
Although the far left is the most shrill these days, I think both sides can benefit from this lesson.
