What I get mad at

Does being seen as "wrong" or "right" about music bother me much?

Funny the way the question was worded. Yes, being seen as right about music bothers me very much, or at least it does when the people who see me as being right haven't actually understood my ideas and so are agreeing with things I never said. What bothers me even more is when people who see me as being wrong haven't actually understood my ideas and so are disagreeing with things I never said. Of course, initial misreading is the condition of man, but the ability to reread and reevaluate is also a native ability of the species, and I have little tolerance towards people who won't do it (unless they're real young or brain-damaged or something).
