Point taken. I shouldn't have used such strong language. If I had a time machine, I'd travel back in the past and change that word to 'arrogant'.

Yes, Alex, slap yourself on the bum! :eyebrows:
I hear you Jez, and it's a fair point, but Alex only typed his 'objectionable remark' an hour and a half ago, and indeed whilst I was out. Therefore, having only got back in, I've just seen your post and his! If I'd seen it, before, I'd have sorted it.
Do remember in future that both the mods and I have lives outside of AoS, and so that not everything posted on the forum will always be picked up on instantly ;)

Arrogance seems to have two functions;
To backfoot and disturb the recipients into a subservient disposition by intimidation, and/or
To allow the arrogant person to believe unrealistically that he knows more, is superior, or has a much stronger position than he has in reality.
In both people it is an imaginary status which is operating in the minds.
The cause of arrogance, or why it is displayed, is loneliness.

Ah yes, I see now. It was because Dennis' remark appeared immediately after my post (#83), that it seemed somewhat 'random'. I didn't realise it was in reference to something written two posts before it...
What I always do in instances like that, is quote *exactly* what I'm referring to (from the post in question), then reply directly underneath that, which makes it absolutely clear what my post is in reference to :)
