To a certain extent arrogance comes with success. I quite disagree, ahhaha. Arrogance is a sign of not being able to handle success, or fear that one's personal growth is ending and someone might be catching up. The most successful people I have known are also the most humble, for they have no need for boisterous, ad-hominem attacks. I enjoy spirited debate with the best of them, but my experience has been that engaging in personal attacks only lowers me to the level of the other, and loses me money because I lose my focus from the investment challenge. As far as your abilities, I have no idea what they are, but from your posts I surmise you are a very capable and experienced communications expert. If you had read all of my posts, including those to Frank, you would have seen that I never claimed to be a comm type. My expertise is elsewhere, and I only dabble in comm as little as I have to in order to do my job. But whenever I need a comm expert, I can easily call on one. Expertise is no indication of native intelligence and, as you so ably demonstrate, it is no indication of social skills. As far as disagreeing with you, if you would have read carefully you would know that I agree with much of what you say. The points of disagreement I laid out, and you did not do much to defend your arguments other than either lash out in ad hominem attack mode or ignore the points. Now, here are some things for you to consider: 1. This is an investment board, not a seminar on communications. 2. This is an open board, not a moderated board. 3. You did not pay any more to be on this board than anyone else. I could go on, but I really am getting distracted from my primary objective, which is smart investing. Good luck with your investments.
