Some great seldom mentioned points here. For a discipline inherently focused on human behaviour, it's interesting to see Freud suffer the indignity of the ignorant. In many ways the criticisms leveled against him (especially the over-reaction to his thoughts on sexualism) are founded on no more than a "my sporting team is better than yours" type of mentality. I don't see much dispassionate discussion from "Freud haters" and you're rightly frustrated by this @beulinator.
