jason, thanks for replying.
i didn't mean to start a big ruckus, and i suppose it's now time to call this code.
...it's just that i wanted people to try to see an alternative view-mine. yes, i know i'm in the minority. the prevailing view seems to fall into either the "he's an egotistical sob, so good riddance," or well, if he's to thin skinned to survive a bit of good natured hazing, he can't join this frat."
i suppose those a valid interpretations, but they don't suit me.
i see nothing in his posts to label him arrogant. his request for a different label is presumed to be stemming from pride and ego-perhaps, perhaps not.
perhaps we are the ones with the bizarre rituals and hierachy?
after all, we have our elders, prophets, and so forth...and eternal damnation to any who challenge it.
for his relatively minor request for a breach of forum etiquette he has been vilified.
unfortunately, though, through this thread i fear i have worsened his predicament. for this i do apologize.
in regards to my own impending vilification (or, should i say, villein-ification), 'tis a small matter. label me pond scum if you wish.
after all, a prophet is usually without honor in his own country
a neophyte perspective
