I don't see a disagreement between what each of us have said, because we're talking about slightly different things. I meant a feeling of superiority in a narrow field. "I give more to charity," might be one such feeling in a narrow field. But then converting that feeling to lashon hara would often be based on feeling insecure about oneself [in general] and therefore trying to tear others down, too. John, I agree with you.

It's exactly the opposite. Those who feel the need to hurt others with their tongues are usually those who are insecure about themselves. Their appearence of superiority is only a defense mechanism against their insecurity. I disagree that lashon hara is based on a feeling of superiority. It’s exactly the opposite.
