When someone uses emotional claims as evidence, what does it evoke in you?

  • I tend to be cautious because emotions often do not take into account logic or facts.
  • This type of argumentation rather concerns me because emotions can obscure objective truth.
  • I often feel that this approach is trying to manipulate my feelings rather than provide rational evidence.
  • When emotions are the main argument, I feel that broader evidence or facts are not being considered.
  • This approach leads me to doubt the credibility of the argument when it is not supported by facts.
