There really is no need for this rudeness. I'm sure you can make your point without resorting to this kind of language. Please see rule 3 and let's try not to turn into reddit (Clarification: I am not a mod or trying to impersonate one. This is just my opinion).

I explain why I think the thing the article is about is happening, I get pummelled with downvotes because people don't like the thing I'm explaining. Someone calls me a retard, they get as many upvotes as I got downvotes. Seems like we're already in a pretty bad spot.
I suspect people disliked both of the approaches you suggested, or thought it was a false dilemma fallacy, but downvotes rarely come with explanations.
