In what way are the ideas being improperly represented? If the presentation is accurate, but unflattering, this seems like it would be a trivial sense of impropriety. Do your pet ideas actually deserve more "dignity" than that?
I recall someone commenting on in and outgroup bias, recently. Is it possible that bias causes some people to believe that an idea deserves some level of dignity, or more dignity (whatever more dignity means) in much the same way that some other bias might lead a person to assume that it deserves less? How should we split the baby? How would you split the baby. I contend that a belief in christ is uncharitable, illogical, and unpersuasive. Let's just suppose that some of this is due to my never having been christian. Which of the three potential cases of bias would you like to correct, John?
