  > I suspect that a sound mind will deal with most kinds of rejection well, but an unsound one will deal with none of them well. I don't think this necessarily holds. I'd need to look at studies, but I feel that the more time you've invested into something, the worse rejection is, sound mind or not. And this would be compounded if you get the feeling the other person isn't even trying to understand you and your point of view.

  But that article says the opposite thing, that a certain form of rejection really does work: "Thank you for developing a good approximation to the trisection of an angle! It has an average error of only 0.1 percent, according to this computer analysis of all angles from 0 to 180 degrees in steps of three. It compares favorably with past approximate trisections developed by X, Y and Z that work as follows..."

    Okay, fair. Mostly I linked it to illustrate how many forms of rejection don't work. Basically rejecting someone is tricky business.
