Emotions play a significant role in our reasoning. We can't make good decisions if do not consider their significance in our emotions in life. But we also should not be swayed completely by our emotions.
An appeal to emotion in an argument is just a premise that says you should believe or do something because you feel a certain way. We call the entire arument in which such a premise appears an appeal to emotion.
The emotion appeal to spite strikes me the most because it is the hope of revenge, it is invariably rejected as bad by some people on moral grouds. It strikes me the most because alot of people act on spite in life before fully thinking out before acting.
