The only thing that truly annoys me on this list is when people argue that libertarians, classic liberals, conservatives, etc. are "ignorant" of some argument. Trust me, such people are fully aware of and fully capable of addressing such arguments. Just because you find an argument so convincing that you believe the matter is settled and never needs to be rethought again does not mean everybody agrees with you.
