It's not like you can devalue the truth just because it's used in a way to anger people who don't appreciate the message you're reinforcing with them. They're still facts at the end of the day which is neither good nor bad.

what

Using factual information to support a controversial or spiteful take. If you did that with an opinion it would just devalue the opinion because of how you're using it but if you're backing up your bad faith message with a factual underpinning the reality of what you're saying can't be undermined by the content of the argument it's being employed in.

If the only reason you're citing an opinion is so you can back up something specifically designed to antagonize then it just makes that opinion less respectable since people have used it to make bad faith arguments.

But when it comes to facts you can't make them any less true by using them in an unsavory way. So maybe you're being a dick but you're not saying something that isn't true.
