There's no doubt that this is another hit and run, although you could argue that it is too early for that. However, these hit and run people seem to always pick the most arrogant names.
Being a new member, myself, I find your response very discourteous, unfair, judgmental, self-serving, and self-fulfilling. Not to mention just plain rude. Why would you think a personal attack on a new member is a reasonable thing to do? I'm sure you've been through the ropes here and have had many an intellectual battle, but is this a frat house? Abu Ghraib? Do you personally think that new member have to 'show their mettle' before they are entitled to basic etiquette?
What if I, oh, I don't know, let's say that your penis size is inversely related to your arrogance? Of course, I would have too much class to actually accuse you of that, but was just wondering what your reaction would be.
