I tend to judge people by how they treat people beneath them. ("Beneath" in their view, not mine.) It's one of the reasons I have so little respect for that coach with Dickie V sticking out of his arse. To many people, the officials on the court are the puppy they get to kick at the end of the day; but they get to do it on the job if they want.
As Rocky notes, whether they hurt my feelings isn't the issue. But I don't tend to respect people who show contempt for me.
