Do you mean, what  gets non-cladists so sore at cladists?  I'll tell you: their insistence that unless you do things their way, you are not doing science.  That is the most awful imprecation one can hurl at a scientist -- that what you are doing is Not Science.  Nothing else could cut to the quick so terribly.
