You know, I don't like being told I'm wrong when I'm wrong.

[conuly]

Oh, I'll suck it up, I'll educate myself and endeavour not to make the same mistake in the future, but man, I don't like it. (Mind, I prefer it to being ignorant, so please, correct me if I'm making a mistake.)

I really dislike being told I'm wrong when I am, in fact, right. I dislike it even more when the person ostensibly "correcting" me feels that her point will be better made WHEN SHE TALKS LIKE THIS!!!! And when that person has a note on her user info about how we shouldn't be condescending or belligerent... *sighs*

Actually, that part's pretty funny. Because, let me tell you, TALKING LIKE THIS is both in one swell foop.

This is generalizing, which is normally a bad thing, but it seems that those who talk the most about not being nasty, are usually the nastiest. What they usually mean is, "don't be nasty to me."
