Thanks, don’t mind if I do!
That, and his failure to understand that arrogance is a relative term. It aint arrogance if you can back it up. Or if you are dealing with a chucking fuckleheaded slatslathering transaxual ballpeened haverworster.
Yeah, we’re a bunch of know-it-alls. I wouldn’t join up if I were you.
This is an example what I meant with arrogant besserwisser
You even fail to se the irony in the thread I made which you refere to
Pfff. Like we need your sorry social critiques. I’ll give you a D+ for knowing how to use a thesaurus, though, geek.
How exactly is it arrogant to ask for evidence and examples? In all the other threads I have seen you contribute in, Wildfire, you make one or two generalizations, provide redundant or repetitive comments, and contribute very little to the actual debate. You seem to want other people’s opinions only if they allign with your own scantily-supported ones.
Personally, I’d prefer someone who’s arrogant but also articulate about their positions (even when I strongly disagree with them), over someone who prickles at such “arrogance” but has very little to add themselves.
Oo, watch out for that Loopydude, he’s an arrogant one if I ever saw one.
“Clever clogs” has nice ring to it.
Whose irony? Yours? Wait, are you a straight interior decorator or a gay carpenter?
My irony (in the Van Gogh post) was rather obvious, on the other hand. Except we arrogant people call it “sarcasm”.
So do constructive criticism, a request for the definition of a word (thus showing my own ignorance) and a dumb joke qualify as arrogance? You sir, are a comedian.
Do me a favor and scan through a few dozen pit threads and let me know if my advice was arrogant or just slightly mocking and yet helpful at the same time.

As do I. Care to point it out?
Ffft. Sorry you suck and I don’t. Life’s a bitch…for you, that is.
Later, champions.
I didn’t see much arrogance in the decorating thread. I mostly saw people giving real life counter examples bigoted questions. Would it kill you to write a coherent sentence with proper punctuation?
Isn’t that another one of Coldfire’s nicknames ?
I third or fourth the request for clear grammar and punctuation. Note I didn’t say perfect or even good, merely clear. And you may have heard, we have this things at the ends of sentences, whatever could they be? Oh. Right.
I would have called it either pretentious or condescending use of a foreign language
Naw, we’re not arrogant.
We’re just better than you.
Damn you, woman! Why do you tease us so with these questions you intend not to answer? That’s a clear sign that you’re an arrogant swimminwimmin!
Actually, in all seriousness, this has come up before. Part of what people perceive (sorry about the spitting) as arrogance is actually sarcasm, or a certain mocking tone, which people have picked up by reading way too many of Cecil’s columns, in which he is the master of derisive mocking of people with less than cosmically-important questions.
So, not so arrogant as you might at first expect. What say you?
