Ok, so I know I have a major case of this and it is one of my major personality flaws, but I really like to think that I’m a recovering patient:
“Philosopher’s Tics: The inability to pass over a faulty inference or fallacy in silence, or to correct it in a spirit of generosity; a relentless need to accuse one’s adversary of insufficient ‘rigor’, or of ‘misreading’ or ‘failing to understand’ one’s position; and, the worst of all, a constant need to drive home one’s greater intellect, at the expense of the merits of the argument.”
