You're being overemotional

RE: You're being overemotional
I don't think it's possible to enter into a discussion about something you care about without emotion.

The only time I would ever consider saying someone's response is too emotional is if I know that person's normal pace of dialogue, and I can tell that they are saying things they wouldn't normally say or resorting to ad hominem or tu quoque when they normally wouldn't.

In other words, when it's obvious.

I don't think that emotion is a binary state. You are never totally without it, and the alternative is not necessarily full fanaticism.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
