Perhaps they were over-critical, or you felt that somehow they didn't love and accept you for who you really are. Somehow you don't really feel good enough. How comforting it must be then to feel part of something, to feel one of the crowd and therefore to be approved of by your fellow brand users (or tribe, or religious sect, or political party etc etc). And how threatening to your well-being might your average Cannon users be! You KNOW they are the anti-christ, the devil incarnate. So you attack them and rubbish their product (or tribe, or religious sect, or politics etc etc).And sadly, so life goes on. But hey, attacking Cannon users verbally is rather less harmful than burning heretics at the stake or invading Poland. So maybe it's progress!</blockquote>
