I don't consider you arrogant, but most people here on this board think that I am, so my opinion may not mean much. I have strong opinions, and I want to defend them. I want to debate, really debate with people and exchange ideas. The problem is when some people can't truly handle an exchange of ideas. Ex. I believe xyz because of abc. And not, I think this because I do. If people don't agree with you, they see it as a personal attack. Sure, some things can't be debated, but most things can. I think that you always argue with logic and proof. I don't see the problem with that. But most people can't seem to separate their emotions from their intellect. I find that sad, and arguing with those people are no fun, because they run off in a big huff or start becoming nasty and doing personal attacks. I hate nastiness, but I admire strong opinions and am truly curious about other people's logic. But I would love to "argue" with you some day! Some of us don't have the energy to "argue" with you  It takes me time to be sure I've gotten my thoughts down clearly and concisely if I really want to make a point. I'd prefer to not have to explain a post for the next 5 pages.  I generally post from work or the Kindle, neither of which is conducive to good writing.  Plus I am here for the entertainment of a circus, not the lectures of a university. |

And I'm here for Nancy's lunch ideas. I'm also available to give advice, but no one has asked.  What should I have for lunch? |

Plus I am here for the entertainment of a circus, not the lectures of a university. Lectures aren't debates. they are monologues. And I beg to differ, I feel that most of my "debates" have been, for the most part, entertaining. Ask chocolatelover! |

99% of my interactions with you have been on your banned topics, and it sounds like you already know and are okay with how you come across on those but yes I'd say you are arrogant.
