And when somebody is criticizing assumptions, you have based your way of thinking on, and assumptions you use as defence against unbearable inner anxiety, then the criticism is VERY negative. People usually function like this. But human evolution means also at a certain stage transcending this tendency, and being able to question once own assumptions. Or at least allowing others to do it. That is why democracy and the freedom of thought it brings, is so good and beneficial for our further growth and evolution as societies and also as individuals.
