I wish we could just edit a post. I wasn't bothered by the arrogant comment, and as part of my posting policy on all the forums where you might find me, if I do feel a comment is insulting I ignore it completely. Too many internet threads devolve into childish "are too, am not" name calling. On the few occasions when I've had truly insulting comments aimed my way, I regard them as compliments in disguise, coming from the source that they do.

I expect Peg's accusation of arrogance is just a case of grabbing for an adjective and picking the first one that comes to mind. I do try to come off as cool and emotionless as possible when discussing a hot button topic. "Arrogant- making, or disposed to make. exhorbitent claims of rank, estimation, or importance; haughty" In trying to be precise and clearly understood, I probably do come off as haughty. And if the truth is to be told, I probably am a little arrogant, but I try to be catlike about it and cover it up when I make a mess. (BG)
