I'm guilty of doing this - if I think a person is too arrogant or trying to put me or others 'back in their place' it annoys me and I tend to try and take them down a peg or two. I can't abide people with what I call a 'superiority complex' and see it as a challenge to prove they're 'not all that'
It's always amusing to see how angry they get at having their position challenged by a person they'd initially totally dismissed too! Like they thought you were just a fly they could swat but you were a wasp really and come back to sting them!

Yeah but that is because your own admitted superiority complex so it's kind a vicious circle. You don't like it when people do it to you either so maybe take it a bit easy as long as they didn't throw the first punch?
Also it's good if you recognize you can't come to terms with a person based on their way of thinking, I still think Callista does nothing wrong in being statistical or pedantic, as your own problem with that comes from you not liking those things or finding them easy. Pedants and narcissists are OK for me.

Yes, I have generally tended to avoid Callista's posts as I don't relate to her way of thinking/analysing things but I have realised she isn't malicious, just different to me. I used to think she only posted to contradict me and it felt like she was picking on me.

That's so great! I don't know your story, but I can see how frequent disagreements would make you feel like that. I'm sure Callista feels the same as you.

What's really weird to me is that I find it hard to tell Callista and another poster, called Verlandi? apart, plus they both have cats as their avatars! They seem very similar to me and have often done posts of a similar nature in response to mine ie my posts often draw a response from either Callista or Verlandi. It would be very interesting to hear what they think of each other and see if they got on well in real life.
I'm interested in people 'types'.

Types as in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator?
I guess you're an... unusually introverted ESFJ? or INFJ? I'm an INTP, I'm guessing the people you discuss with are both INTJ. There aren't just 16 people in the world though, but it is fun. Ask them.

P.S. Callista and Verdandi are completely different but equally valuable to WP.

What post of yours? My response to your post was a joke on the word "narc" meaning a narcotics police far more often than it means a narcissist. But yes, lets get back to discussing the dark triad then, if it wandered off-topic. But me saying that nessa should just ask them was about that.
Also, you've disagreed with me before I think? Though I may confuse you with that other fellow that also has a disgusting avatar. Or fellows, I don't know.

I'd say the only one being a bully here is you
If you'd bothered to read my posts you'd see I acknowledged my own failings and explained why I don't relate to their style of posting. I did not criticise them, I merely commented that we have different thinking styles.
And if you think the content on this thread is s**t - I suggest you start a non-sh** one of your own
I'm being a bully by saying don't single someone out and publicly pick them apart? I didn't single anyone out for a reason, because there are multiple people doing it and it's starting to snowball. Why do you feel I was addressing you specifically rather than the direction of the thread? It's not all about you

I'm afraid that today it is all about me as I've been sent a letter of dismissal by my employer and don't know when I'll
be getting any more money coming in so excuse me for not being in the best of moods.

After this experience that's me permanently done with the world of work
I was already on a Disability Benefit with no expectation on me to look for work before coming off it to take this job as I felt I had something to offer after I'd previously held down jobs for most of my adult life
But evidently the workplace in today's society has no place for me and will bully and discriminate to ensure I don't remain there
Yep I get the message alright 'Normals' - just don't let any one of you dare say a person like myself,
who will now spend the rest of my life on benefits, is a f-king scrounger because you f-king put me there!

If it's any consolation there are a lot of people here who have been, are, or will be in the same situation you are facing. You're not alone. If you're looking for understanding I think you've come to the right place.
