Like most people, I judge everyone I see, hear, or know of.
What are _your_ qualifications and experience?
Ah, yes, the predictable Krygowski demand that other's defend their

I'm ruled by common sense and self confidence.
Like I said, and Krygowski snipped...
"You, on the other hand,
seem to be driven by your need of attention, recognition, and
admiration.
Those are, of course, are also simple opinions. You're free to rant
and rave about them to your hearts content, but given who and what I
understand you to be, I won't be troubled. "

From what we've seen, it's more likely you're ruled by ignorance,

Evidence: Your statements in favor of riding wrong-way into
intersections. Your statements long ago that riding on normal roads
cannot be safe. Your self-confinement to a totally segregated kiddy
path, and even that while needing to carry a gun for "confidence." And
you're rising before dawn to jump on your computer and bitch at me.
Rant on, little man.
Yes, little fella, I ride a Catrike, always alone, mostly on bike
trails, carrying a gun, and never without attaching my feet to the
pedals. Nowdays, I always truck my bike to where I start my ride. I
tried and found riding a bike to the grocery store and other routine
trips to be boring. I hope I am never reduced to riding like that. I
am arrogantly proud of my bicycle rides and all my other
accomplishments. As an introvert, I also value my
solitude, where I'm free to tune into my own inner monologue.
I'm also well aware of why Krygowski is so intent on trying to berate
me. The explanation is explained below by a professional:
*******************************************************************
"For narcissists, people can broadly be divided into two groups:
targets of their own envy and sources of real or imagined inflating
envy from others. [...]
But in addition to self-enhancing identification comes a painful sense
of frustration. Why does he or she have all this? Why not me? This
mobilizes the hostile, bitter component of the envious emotion, in
which the object envied needs to be diminished in order to lessen the
distance between self and other. For the narcissist, this gap may
elicit what has been called narcissistic injury, a poignant reminder
of shameful inadequacies that he or she tries desperately to deny. "

There's also a professional's explanation for why he attempts to tag
me with labels such as "timid," which he knows, full well, does not
apply to me.
*******************************************************************
"Ironically, narcissists labels reveal more about the narcissist than
their target. One hallmark of narcissism is the frequent use of the
defense mechanism of projection. Projection is when we unconsciously
attribute to others feelings and judgments that we cannot tolerate
recognizing within ourselves. Narcissists most-used labels tend to
show their deepest fears about themselves."
