There seem to be a lot of meditative teachers who are genuinely malicious. I met a meditation teacher today who was nothing but an angry bully towards me despite her attempted veneer of presence. Subtle but intense and conscious anger. Meditation culture is not prepared for them.

It's very difficult to do so without reasoned argument, I agree. And critical argument is seen as evil by a lot of meditative traditions because it hurts for them, basically.

A skilled meditation teacher will usually recognize such a lack of integrity and fix it in themselves. I suspect that your Aspie traits (also apparent in your preference of reasoned argument over a consistent perceptual model) may have triggered a stereotype in your teacher.
