Which words do you consider to be just Boorish and which are attacks?

You have a (insert your passion, issue, belief, theories, etc here) what word referring to it would you see as just sloppy usage, Boorish usage, or an attack upon it or you? If word and or phrases such as pathetic, small, made up, make believe, magic, unreal, mysticism, incantations, or your beliefs were tantamount to belief in the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, or unicorns would you believe the person you were engaged with in conversation was respecting or disrespecting you?
