Remember that as you judge. <BR/><BR/>I'm lucky to ride a sawhorse without a saddle.<BR/><BR/>There's no one I insult more than myself.<BR/><BR/>Except in a sociopath, arrogance is usually a defense against inferiority, though that is no excuse. <BR/><BR/>I think, on balance, most of my posts are not arrogant. Once in a while I may step over the line. Obviously the word "stupid" is a hot button for many and has me in your cross hairs right now.<BR/><BR/>The escape from an accusation of "insulting" to Zen prankster was transparently invalid, I thought, worthy of an ironic smile. Perhaps my humor is twisted: "It's not an insult, it's instruction!" Baah. You think I believe that? You shouldn't take the bait. <BR/><BR/>In any case, Sam, thanks for reading. I can't seem to catch a break with you. You do take me too seriously, I think. <BR/><BR/>As for the other anon, you are playful and I'm sorry if I overreacted and called you a "coward" unnecessarily. I could ban anonymous comments or moderate their posting here as many do, but I leave myself open to everyone. I don't think that fits the arrogance profile, but hell, I'm no forensic psychologist. I'm going to erase my earlier answer to you as intemperate.C. E.

I throw brain puzzles, usually of logic or linguistics, at their unsuspecting psyches in the course of a normal conversation. When their faces freeze in incomprehension I admit to a childish thrill as I watch the tumblers in their brains paralyzed as mine have so often been. "<BR/><BR/>Stupid people mistake these Zen encounters as insults. To all of them I apologize. <BR/><BR/><BR/>This to me is the most arrogant anyone could say to another. I stumbled on your blogs by accident and at first I thought that you thought of yourself as superior to all. Now I KNOW you think you are. Climb off your high horse.<BR/><BR/>You think all people are stupid (.)<BR/><BR/>Perhaps this person on THIS page, the one who mispelled and talked "stupid" was trying to tell you something.<BR/><BR/>Sorry I am not using any BIG words, I do not need them or know how to use them.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry, I will not Blog here anymore, just my opinion.

Alas, I find your your 'sense of affront' bleeding at times into your work. It's easy to get dispirited. I'm far from immune to it myself. You have to whistle in the dark and address the void. For some very few, the void congeals into an audience. But that is a luxury, not an end.<BR/><BR/>"I've put more energy into feeling neglected as an artist, I fear, than I have into my art.
