Webster's describes arrogance as "the assertion of one's own importance, together with contempt of others." It also uses "haughtiness" as a definition. Just like the umpire who said we don't know the abilities of an umpire merely by their submissions to these boards I would suggest that I can't call Carl "arrogant" without having have met him. But lets say I meet him and find him to be arrogant. What does that say about the accuracy of his comments? Too many Carl-haters focus on his style and seem to ignore his substance. I choose to do the opposite but I don't consider myself an apostle.

Ah, Jim Simms aka Jim/NY, an emminently reasonable attitude for a text-based medium such as this. Am I correct in my recollection that you once posted the following on another board?
"
When I stopped expecting Carl to be a sensitivity trainer, I realised how much I could learn from him."
If so, I must say that you remain as sensible and practical as ever. Well done, mate.
Cheers,
