<<<People generally want their ideas to be taken seriously and this seems to dismiss their concerns, even while its trying to express sympathy for the people who hold those ideas.>>> The word patronising comes to mind - characteristic of those who treat others with condescension. However, around here, definitions are elastic. It all depends on how we feel. For people we like, we have some elasticity in the way we apply definitions. You ever wonder how in the race for the democratic presidential nominee is a virtual tie, but when you read all links that show up on this thread, it is almost 100% positive for one candidate and 100 % negative for the other.
