Can someone please explain how presenting an evidence-based argument is "flamebait"?

All kinds of arguments that are “evidence-based” (i.e., have research studies affirming them) are potentially inflammatory when invoked in a given context.

In this case, someone just posted a link to BlueSky and you set off a mini-flamewar. People who act like that offline find their invitations to dinner parties start to dry up. We need people to think about the effect their comments will have on the mood in the thread when commenting here.
