Yes, several people here have directly said "no compromise". You, then, may be the exception.
As to the logical fallacy of emotion, please, at least figure out what the hell you're talking about. Appeals to emotion are when someone accuses their debate opponent of being evil or how everyone's going to die if they don't follow some shining path. Pointing out that 'no compromise' usually means no pragmatic/practical action is definitely not any such appeal. Again, please, figure out what the hell you're talking about before you post.
