It's *always* fair, if someone is antagonistically criticising me, whether or not I immediately recognize it, for surely somewhere in "me" are the qualities they complain of. Conversely, it's always (in the deepest sense) unfair, if I'm antagonistically criticising another, as again, the root-cause of my discontent is always in "me" :-)
