Perhaps you are just assuming that we assume too much? (Sorry, just being playful here.)
I can empathize with your sentiment, as I have felt the frustration frequently. It's like we are all internally programmed to carry out our internal judgments with a total disregard for any humility, or self-reflection. We definitely are all guilty of bias and presumption, only as a matter of the reality that discussion presents that hazard automatically (akin to free speech)... and it is especially damaging when we forget that "defending" an idea doesn't really require "attacking" another idea.
I'm sorry that you have faced this and are upset (see? I'm assuming here.) But your point isn't lost if that wasn't the reason for your thread.
It rings true regardless... we do assume too much, too frequently, and we often forgo the dignity of the person with whom we disagree.
Now... if this was about "me," I think you're wrong... wrong, wrong, wrong! (Playfully.. not serious.)
My best to you always,
MM
