It's a popular red herring to say we're contradicting them out of spitefulness, but in reality we're simply informing them of the unjustifiable claim after claim made by exposing the flaws or weaknesses in their argument - we're trying to explain to them they've failed on a basic level to understand what's required for an existence claim.
