Yes, I've seen arrogance here, too. I don't particularly think Alan was
being arrogant, -a little short maybe, but perhaps we differ in that
opinion.

I've also seen teasing, some of it probably unintentional, some not.
And it's sad, even pathetic, certainly juvenile along with the
arrogance. Fortunately, however, we having a resident "initiator" to
help inure newbies to the exigencies of alt.html. We try to spread him
around as much as we can, but shit only goes so far. Anyway, I suggest
you'd greatly benefit from reading a subset of the plethora of past
postings authoring by Onideus Mad Hatter and his not-always-willing
lackeys. They give new meaning to pretentiousness (-meaning the posts,
of course,) and make unaffiliated efforts seem so much more palatable
than otherwise.

Everybody needs to let off steam occasionally. But how we do it counts
for something as well as our principles and usual behavior.
