So much of the media we consume is heavily editorialized to hit an emotional chord. This makes sense from the author's perspective - an argument with a strong pathos can help it get noticed. I will often react instinctively at first, then take some time and reconsider and form a different opinion. Sometimes I read an article on HN, then go to the comments where someone states a counterpoint I had not considered. Especially on a this forum, one should have the chance to change a vote.
