He rarely throws insults and is always ready to cite sources (albeit biased ones). He seems to want to argue in good faith.

Cowbee’s public facing account has incredible sea-lioning technique. Constantly asking for evidence and backpedaling to his own sources (far beyond merely biased) and picking apart some minor phrasing to avoid facing a solid argument.
