By the way, we see the majority age of GAFF being lowered to high school age, too. Replace "high school students" with "my inferiors" to represent all age groups. Bashing is, fundamentally, a display of arrogance. Constructive criticism, similarly, shows some measure of arrogance: arrogance that the critic knows more about the topic than the recipient, no matter how right the critic may be.
