Thanks for the elaboration RP. I too find arrogance disheartening but I would not dip my brush in it to paint others with. I think most people here might see it as self evident. I do not know what rock some have been chiseled from. If I presumed someone to be arrogant at the outset how would they be able then to have input?
Anger in ones heart when responding can be many things and not just "proof of arrogance". Perhaps the perceived anger could be generated by feelings of discomfort associated with a bad experience in the past. For me, personally, I don't know anyone on this forum well enough to conclude that they are angry or happy when responding. (I do picture Neil plunging in the lampoon with a smirk.) In closing you had mentioned something about Allan's moral compass being more of a device for implementation rather than discussion. Is the conclusion to that statement that Allan was not open to ideas about it?
