>Calling them "precious" feelings sort of belies the idea that you're just talking facts in a forceful way.

Feelings shouldn't be precious. They should be disregarded. When communicating a point, if disdain is felt it should be presented. If it is not felt then it shouldn't be presented.

>If you struggle to separate your disdain for people who disagree with you then that's a chance to grow, or a chance to dig your heels in.

I hold disdain for certain people. But not for all people who disagree with me. Clearly what you're saying is completely false.

Growth to me is not the ability to separate disdain from disagreement. Growth is the ability to not hide your disdain. To express it when it's required.

To you I am not expressing disdain. You only perceive it as such because you disdain what I am saying. The reality is, I'm the same as you. I'm quite well off. The difference between us, is that I don't twist reality or morality to justify my sins.

I knew you were rich and well off, because I am rich and well off. Why would I disdain someone like me? The only difference between us is that I don't lie to myself.
