Conversely, bland people make lousy ambassadors.

I think you're right that too much bile will make people tune out, but being too nice will also make people tune out because then you're not being interesting. You need a good mix of passion and reason to make an argument that people will listen to. It's the contrast that makes things interesting; if the argument is one-note in either key, then it gets boring.

It reminds me of a production of "Danton's Death" I saw a few years ago where EVERY! SCENE!! AND EVERY! ACTOR!!! WAS TURNED UP TO ELEVEN!1!!!! Despite all the intensity, it put me to sleep because it was relentless. Contrast is what our brains notice.
