I find people very hard to understand a lot of the time. I understand ideologies & psychology underlying them quite well but outside this..?
-
Tbf, ideology, psychology etc., explain this behaviour quite well. You ask a question that demands an answer they can't give.
-
They do interpret a request for more of an argument with evidence as dismissing them!
-
Yes. You placed them in an awkward position. In order to keep their believes intact, they must then find fault with you. This way no need to
-
I'm being encouraging, ffs! You feel very strongly about this argument. I encourage you to write it. "How dare you dismiss me!"
-
You expect them to know enough about it to make such an effort. You're being too kind. When you can't do that, you attack the author.
-
Many of these things are more personal than you think.
