If I were in charge of you I would remove YOU from YOUR position because you
have no skills at dealing with people. To address your question, here in
America, in development positions, a lot of times we hire people based on
their PEOPLE SKILLS, intelligence, potential, drive, and ability to learn
rather than their having 100% knowledge of a programming subject.

Unfortunately, semi-competent nice guys finish first a lot of the time ahead
of the brilliant yet abrasive guys.

I'm not even going to dignify this ridiculous comment with a response.

Liar. I did NOT call the original guy an idiot. I did tell him to read SQL
101, but I did NOT call him an idiot.

No. There is no insult in this. And no arrogance. I WOULD have removed him
from any position where is is responsible for SQL. I normally do not leave
people on such positions which make trainee mistakes. This is not arrogance.
This is fact. If you can not stand the facts, then - well - there are other
worlds, you know.

Maybe there is an insult in this for an american.

If you behave incompetent, then being called incompetent is not an insult.

Besides, maybe, for an american - seems this culture honours an idiot who is
nice higher than someone being right but saying that the other dude is an
idiot.

But then, the US IS the terrorist state nr 1 in the world, so this is
expected behavior, sort of.

See, it does not say "Lead developer" Or something. So I assume you are
simply not responsible for handling personell. Which makes it clear why you
would not revmove someone without appropriate knoelsedsge from a position he
holds but lacks the knowledge to fullfill.
