This doesn't surprise me in the least.

Have to agree with you. So, seems we need to look at how we present facts. It all comes down to communication skills and regard for other's, I believe. Thinking about when people feel put down instead of informed with respect for who they are. Sometimes the messenger is the problem.

It doesn't feel so good to think that someone is cutting you, the person down, instead of misinformation you might be holding on to.

But, this article does bring much to light in the whole of it. Thanks, Linusfor posting this. Food for thought.
