A Rhetorical Question

[mlknchz]

Why is it that when I call someone on their bullshit, I'M the jerk for not tolerating their BS? Their BS isn't ever really the issue, it's always my reaction to it that's the problem.

God, I hate people sometimes.

Psychological projection. People don't like admitting they're wrong. It's an uncomfortable feeling, so they push back from it.

It's still bullshit. ;-)

Intellectually, I recognize that (and ask myself if it's ME that's doing that), but yeah, it's STILL bullshit.
I admit when I'm wrong, why can't other people?
