What’s condescending?

Is there a thin-skin around?

I’m just relating facts and observations as I’ve experienced them relative to Alamo-Girl . . . her habits, her character etc. as I’ve observed them as a psychologist and as a Christian brother.

If rationalizing my professional opinion as a bias helps your biases—help yourself.

Would you consider a post by a Christian to a non-Christian saying, "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God" as condescending? (AG has at least not said this recently, so just speaking in general terms.) If not, I guess there's not much point in talking about this.

Why should being a psychologist make you less vulnerable to human frailty than others? If that were so, psychiatrists wouldn't ever need psychiatrists.

I've been in the position where a person has been a jerk while arguing on my side and I've overlooked it, only to realize in a different context, hmm, that person really is kind of a jerk. Hopefully I will remember this! :-D
