Love your list. It reminds me slightly of the humor in "10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Is Wrong" -- a Facebook group. I'm thinking of possible additional entries... but nothing comes to my mind at this instant. Maybe something that could serve as the opposite of 'misogyny' but sound like 'androgyny', so that it would make absolutely no sense.

"Mental killfile"? This way you surely kill your own mental ability to handle difference in opinion any other way than putting fingers in your ears and singing "la-la-la".

There's differences in opinion, and then there are nutjobs. I try not to waste too much time on the second category.
