When: I take my time to pull up a whole lot of research, data and so forth contradicting your theory... and the response is a nice version of "you can't understand because you are <x>".
I feel: Well, you say you want to learn and grow, but if you are going to waste my time with closed minded certitude (thank you econ!), I'd rather you say that you won't consider anything that condicts your views.
Because: It wastes my damn time.

PT, I like the way you post, FWIW. I may not comment, I may not always read an entire post or thread, I may not agree with your conclusions, but I recognize the thought and effort that you put into things. I find your posts more logical and less reactionary than many of those by some of the NTs. I can see why you would find dismissive attitudes frustrating.
