If a website was about why the Iraq war is wrong, and those who supported it were blind, do you even think it is a legitimate complaint if those who support the iraq war, go read the website, and complain it is its readership?

That is your logic.

And as someone who likes results and despises self-destruction, I'm proud to say that yes, that IS my logic.

Assuming I understand the last half of your sentence correctly, I feel no shame in saying that persuading people to see my side of things is much preferable to simply preaching to the converted and stroking my ego by insulting those who disagree with me.

Then your foolish.

It is not about 'persuading' it is about your claiming he is insulting his readership.

This implies that IS his readership, which it isn't.

That he has some loyalty, or some duty, to this 'readership'.

If i make a website criticising the government for the iraq war, can the government say 'we read your website, this is clearly insulting us, your readership'?

no, that is a ridiculous argument, but it is your argument.
