Chill out dudes. ;)

I don't personally see the term as an insult. My trite example was a
(poor?) attempt to show that legitimate reasons for criticizing of
authority, can twisted and exploited by those seeking power.

What isn't clear to me is how attachment theory (if it is true) would be
applied.
