because of the way they act/treat others~EVERYBODY AND CONSTANTLY--talking down to everyone about every single subject under the sun just about after decades that someone should give them a book on narcissism for the holidays? Or just send them a book called "Trapped In The Mirror" so that they could FINALLY see themselves as other's see them?
I mean, I TRUELY mean that they've become soo sooooooo very self-important, self-absorbed over the yrs. that it is greatly obnoxious how they respond to other people. They do not "relate" --just seem to know how to cut people down.
I'm not sure that they each are AWARE of how it makes so many people feel [hear common complaints for large variety of relatives all the time, inc. myself feeling the cut downs from them].
I mean, come on--just because someone has a doctorate [both do] doesn't give them the right to constantly treat people as if they are intellectually inferior. Their specialty is mathematics but both seem to believe that they are

experts on every subject under the sun. Thank God many folks who do further their education are NOT like this at all!!
So what is your opinion on people like the couple I mentioned above?
and how do you feel one could handle it?
To get them to start repecting other's generally? and stop acting like they are God's or something. It's getting ridulous

THAT'S my point!!!
This post isn't about their accomplishments!
It's regarding their general behavior towards other people; how they treat others
I think someone should send them the book "Trapped In The Mirror", all about narcissism.
Their intelligence never was a problem, it's how they treat people as a whole--particuliarly towards my Uncle's side of the family actually.

If they are active researchers and have published lots of papers and the such, politely ask them to sodomice themselves with retractable batons.
If all they have is a degree on the wall, ask them what have they contributed to the field of mathematics. If all they have to show is a bullshit paper from their college years written in "colaboration" with a professor, politely ask them to sodomice themselves with retractable batons.
