I see, one the other hand, this sort of behavior patterns can be temporary or permanent; and vary from written to face to face communication. Like I feel some times I am doing that too, but in real meeting with someone I am most of the times extremely nice and cooperative :) Orsan

Most of the time, no. A lot of people are enculturated to feel superior in several different ways. Comes from the polarities in the culture. You can feel superior in one polarity and inferior in another. But the whole social-economic-system, as Riane Eisler was quoted to say in this list, is based on domination and subordination, so that is a constant feature.

We talked in the 1960's about people from PB backgrounds who came into oppositional movements to achieve the recognition of their superiority that was denied them in the larger system.

We did have one person in one group that Lynn thought was an agent, but most of the time it is just people doing what they were enculturated to do.
