No.... not really my default state. However with some, my suspicions are higher than others. I normally try to look at the facts and reasons behind what is being said, not assume motives or attack the origins of the claim. It's about what they have to say, not who is saying it. And if I am misunderstanding something or do fall into rhetoric, in which I am interpreting something in a less than charitable way....just correct me; and we'll move on.
