"Bashing" or to be a "basher"


It seems that folks believe if you disagree with them and present even a semblence of a good reason, all of the sudden you are considered to be bashing.

It occurrs on both sides of the isle.

I am curious what exactly does that mean?

Bashing is a harsh, gratuitous, predjudicial attack on a person, group or subject. Literally, bashing is a term meaning to hit or, colloquially, to assault but when it is used as a suffix, or in conjunction with a noun indicating the subject being attacked, it is normally used to imply a sense of uncompromising vehemence and bigotry about the assailant.

The term applies to two different types of attack: physical assault and verbal or critical assault. In the latter case, bashing is used metaphorically to indicate an attack on a subject that is of similar aggressiveness and motivation to the physical case.

Carp, overwhelmingly we see posts here from one viewpoint.
