Juulie, I think you're starting to lose perspective here, and are now attributing qualities to the man that are not supported by facts. While I find their commentary occasionally infuriating, I do not find Nance or Packer to come off as arrogant, conceited, or show-off-y (is that a word?  ).
You're taking this dislike to a whole new level - one that is, judging by what I've been able to glean from this board, beneath you.
Just my $0.02

He is deliberately and with intent ignorant of the rules, and he actively resists any efforts to make himself more knowledgeable. Apparently, he feels the say way about the English language. Why should I like someone like that?
