Are you seriously suggesting that since you didn't understand the reasons some of your ideas have been rejected, that it's fine to reject other people's ideas for any reason you like?

That's not what I'm saying at all. Let me give you an analogy:

"He got teased for being fat". I got teased all the time, why is being teased about being fat any different/special?"

I.e. I'm not saying it's "okay" to tease someone just because I question why being teased about being "fat" is any different to other kinds of teasing.
