I always find it painful to witness the "attack-tic" behaviour of others - especially when it is directed towards me and others that I love. Their narcissistic personalities seem to allow them no other option than to shut down or cut down those who master critical thinking. It's as though you having abilities to analyze a situation is too much of a contrast to them totally lacking these skills. Their reflective processes are lazy, dis-functional or absent - attacking you is their only defence. That way they can pretend they are also able to think.
These people are to be ignored, despised or pitied, at best.
Right on!
