Oh, I was thinking of people that just forward some other document, presumably one they agree with. Then they are startled when it gets deconstructed.

So if an OP submits a construct, especially one that's easy to tear down in a disrespectful way, it's competent practice to be gentle and precise when making one's incisions. But what I see, mostly, is people who simply want to talk and enjoy the sounds of their own voice, their own subject, their own universe of discourse [⛧], which always nudges a good faith critic back onto their heels. So, competent criticism in wild and woolly fora like this one often comes in the form of blunt rejection of OP premises. [⛧] Tu quoque warning! Just because I'm a hypocrite doesn't mean I'm wrong.
