People who target you harder in an argument when you retreat
Why do people do this, especially in informal arguments when they're not actually aiming to break their opponent's mind or something?
It's like, I discover a disagreement with someone in the course of a conversation, then one of the first things is to find a reason why I'm the exception, often essentially conceding the mainstream ground to the other side, but then I occasionally get people who are like, "yep, that's right, and that's why you suck". Usually in language a bit less harsh, but...so were you arguing with me for fun, naturally spawned from a friendly conversation about the topic...or were you just aiming to tell me how much I suck, my tastes suck, my little dog sucks, and I should feel bad about it?

Because some folks are of the opinion that you must be a terrible person who terriblizes if you don't enjoy arguing, and are thus prone to making fun of those who don't.
