Part of it is projection. Someone says something in which you disagree
with *one* point, and they project the opposite of their own position
onto *everything* there.
What *really* gets me is when someone doing this projects the most
*extreme* position from theirs and attacks you for having said that,
when all you said was something maybe a few degrees from their
position. And then they cuss you out on top of it. *That* is beyond
the pale, IMO.
