     CONTENTIOUSNESS is much like a communicable disease.

     When  DOMINEERING people behave in  CONTENTIOUS  ways
which  entail  self-righteousness, narcissism,  arrogance,
judgementalism,  coercion,  violence, etc.  ---  otherwise
normally healthy people are profoundly tempted to copy the
despicable  patterns  of behavior which have  upset  them.
The dis-ease of CONTENTIOUSNESS  spreads into the lives of
previously  healthy   people;     spreading   much  as the
traditionally  recognized  communicable  diseases   spread
through  the spreading of the tiny "agent"  organisms such
as: bacteria, viruses, molds, protozoa, prions, etc.

     The "agents"  of CONTENTIOUSNESS are not likely to be
identified  as tiny living organisms.   The  "agents"   of
CONTENTIOUSNESS  are  more  likely  forms  of  UNBALANCED-
IDEALISM  that  include:     exclusivity,    extreme-self-
confidence, perfectionism,  preoccupations with purity and
other related "ideals"  which are not well-integrated with
different/complementary ideals.
