A phrase I have heard in other contexts is “zealotry without discernment.” Behind it is the idea that, while a person might be “correct”, they are only that. The correct person in question is cold, uncaring, and interested only in the correctness of his cause. Though he might be factually right, no one listens to him, because he is rude, hard to get along with, and most damning: his concern for the truth is a matter of his own self-justification, and not to either live according to that truth, or to edify others with that truth.
