Those guidelines which domineering people do NOT AFFIRM, are regarded by such domineering people as equivalent to nothing; and they pass judgement accordingly. Domineering people need to lear how to listen sympathetically to other "different" people to learn some "different" lessons from them; lessons which are not poisoned by the assumption that redemptive-violence and redemptive-coercion are parts of God's-Gracious-Plan.
