“You trivialise important subjects.”
“You’re gratuitiously offensive and you do it on purpose to garner a reaction.”
“You hammer home your points with a sledgehammer when a jeweler’s pick would do.”

“You go too far.”

“Your appeal is limited to the dregs of society. The lowest common denominator.”
