(claiming that it was about "psychological issues")

Would you mind explaining how something like:

It seems to me that some folks highly value a self-image of not offending others

isn't talking about psychological issues.

Hmm ... it's possible that I misunderstood you, too. I took "psychological issues" as a possibly-mocking euphemism for "mental illness" — as in "You know, he has psychological issues."

Self-image is surely a fact about personality — is that what you meant?
