Emotions have nuances you can emphasize and focus. Example: When
  you care about something WHY DO YOU CARE AT ALL about it?
  Emotions. Reasoning is taming the emotions. What you're talking
  about though, is "How can we work on being as LEAST MANIPULATIVE
  as possible in order to have the MOST rational discussion
  possible and contribute as little to emotional turmoil?" That's
  how I read it.
