Arrogance of Elitism

quote:

---

The "Buz" problem is not new, and I have observed it for many years. Newcomers like bluejay and others will not know, but your arguments about Buz's lack of understanding aren't new.

---

And the problem is Buzsaw's pride. He sees himself as some sort of superior being who doesn't have to do any real work. He can just magically come to the right answer by skimming sources he happens to like. He doesn't have to even bother to read or understand the responses he gets.Who's being arrogant ? Buzsaw for pretending to expertise and understanding he doesn't have and isn't prepared to work for ? Or the people who HAVE done the work and point out Buzsaw's many errors, irrationalities and fabrications ?

quote:

PaulK, my understanding of things is radical IYO.

Nevertheless I can produce strong evidence for my position. You say many things that are untrue - and obviously so to any informed person. And you seldom admit to it - either insisting that you are right regardless of the facts or running away from discussion.

quote:

---

Your arrogancy is that you think the majority POV must not be rigorously debated unless it makes sense to you.

---

Just another Buzsaw fabrication.

quote:

---

Well, your POV doesn't make sense to me. Just because one rigorously debates another view than yours and debates intensively on a minority POV, the one is considered by you as arrogant.

---

No, that's not my position at all. And that's a prime example of the problem - you don't care about what my position really is, you just want to try to find excuses to glorify yourself and discredit me. The fact is that you do not rigorously debate anything. You just insist that you can't be wrong while evading or misrepresenting the many points that you can't deal with.

quote:

---

You've debated in a condescending arrogant manner towards me for years, so that's what I expect from you. You're not a pleasant member to dialog and debate with but you're around about 24/7 so it becomes necessary.

---

The reason you find it unpleasant to deal with me is because I'm right. You really do have a lot of false pride and it upsets you greatly to see it punctured. If you could learn to set aside that false pride and actually learn to put the truth ahead of your ego you would find me a lot more pleasant to deal with.

I find it interesting that you, like Syamasu, see honesty, integrity and a care for the truth as things that get in the way of mindlessly accepting your opinions.
