When a conversation is going basically nowhere, and especially when
the tone of the text is not the most positive, people get tired of
arguing.
People don't like being told in harsh words "that's not true, you
are wrong", even if that's the case. Being too blunt about someone's
error (especially if it's actually not completely clear if there *is*
an error) is usually not going to get very positive feedback. People
feel attacked. Sometimes someone may actually realise he's not
completely right, but he still may feel that he doesn't deserve such
a blunt response.
