    *Intentionally Interpreting Any Criticism as an Insult
    "Who is he to call me lazy and worthless! A good person would never talk to me like this! He wrote this whole thing just to feel superior to me and to make me feel bad about my life! I'm going to think up my own insult to even the score!"
    *Focusing on the Messenger to Avoid Hearing the Message
    "Who is THIS guy to tell ME how to live? Oh, like he's so high and mighty! It's just some dumb writer on the Internet! I'm going to go dig up something on him that reassures me that he's stupid, and that everything he's saying is stupid! This guy is so pretentious, it makes me puke!
    A lesson we can all take to heart here on DDP.
    Never mistake motion for action. ~Ernest Hemingway
