High flying - most of the times people are only good at some specific things and you've no idea what silly things (according to you) they might be struggling with.
Invalidate them - well, this is an emotional response, I've experienced it in chatroom/real life too where some person contributes too much value instead of getting respect they end up getting attacked. Untill, they move beyond the point where their success speaks for them and where attacking them would only result on you wasting your time. So understand someone is good at something and move on, maybe instead of invalidating them, befriend them and play supporting role in their work if you want to, maybe someday they'll take backseat and push you forward to carry on the baton.
What happened to Galileo, it's high time you realize you might not get instant respect and acknowledgment for what you contribute, you should only look for respect and validation from yourself, not from others. It's difficult yes, but once you go this route, what others say will stop mattering.
Bunch of people praising someone isn't sign of genius as ability to hear thunder isn't sign of good ear.
When I was young, I did try to invalidate everyone's success this resulted in me being bitter and outcast and finally being alone. That much negativity isn't good for anyone's sanity.
Now if I find someone is good at something, I ask them for my role, I ask them if they want me to do something for them. I want to part of their team, not always it's possible but I acknowledge their efforts and success and never invalidate it.
