First of all, I think "hate" is a strong word. I would rather say that I am concerned about the following logical fallacy:
Non-sequitir.
It worries me when people use non-sequiturs as a means practicing what I call reductionist absolutism. People often fall into the trap of reducing an issue to two or so possibilities, then using a non-sequitur to "prove" that one of them is true and the other false. Or, in many cases, that one is vastly superior to the other(s).
