"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?

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.
