It's really the same mentality as calling people *haters* just because they disagree with you or something you believe in, or they point out errors or inconsistencies in the same.
These days nobody wants to hear any correction. We have to sooth their poor little feelings and tell them what they want to hear.
You’re right. Many people are so identified with their opinions that they’re simply unable to accept any comment that’s not vociferous agreement. It’s boring and exhausting trying to have a discussion with people who can’t discern the difference among evidence, interpretation, fact, opinion, and/or revelation.
It’s like (just because I’m cranky tonight ;-) trying to discuss morality with people who cry, “You can’t tell me what to do!!! You’re a Nazi!!!” every time you evaluate behaviors as wrong or right.
