On the forum in particular and in EA discourse in general, there is a tendency to give less weight/be more critical of posts that are more emotion-heavy and less rational.
You say that like it is a bad thing. I would suggest reading [Against Empathy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Against_Empathy#Empathy_versus_Compassion) to understand why it is a very good thing.
We need less emotion-driven decisions and more rational decisions, that is the whole point of EA.
