is being condescending ever a good tactic?
#14
RE: is being condescending ever a good tactic?
Condescension works like a charm on me no matter what. I think I can attribute that to my growing social anxiety that seems to be getting stronger with my age. Mostly I'm a calm, laid back person, and that allows me to think critically, but apply any amount of what I perceive to be mean-spirited pressure and I collapse. I have a hard time understanding this about myself. How can I be a level headed person, collecting proof and substantial evidence to form my stance on any given topic, consider any idea that might make my claim wrong and adjust if it is so, but then collapse when somebody is condescending? I'm just not a debater, I guess.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
