Often Domineering-Bullies object to the publication and discussion of a text --- because THEY:

1. Refuse to acknowledge that different-people with different-backgrounds-and-contexts are likely to find different meanings in the text and to respond to it differently --- and maybe be engaged in Open-and-Honest-Dialogue with "different-People" --- about their different-reasons as unique different-people.

2. Claim that there is only one possible meaning and intention revealed by the text --- one to which they object; and which they seek to repress as being evil and as supported by evil people who are agents of The-Devil.

3. Seek to be in control of other peoples' patterns of: Perspective, Perceptions, Understandings, Thinking, Hopes, Desires, Aspirations, Communications, Intimate-Relationships, Dialogues, Affirmations, Experiences, etc.

4. Are EgoCentric and contend that only-they are right-and-worthy-of: honor, respect, acceptance and admiration. "Different" people are wrong an/or evil agents of The-Devil; God's-Enemy.

5. Cannot cooperate with "different" people.
