So? Beggars cannot be choosers. Why would you look for
validation from him or anyone else? It can only come from within.

Precisely. Glass half-empty or half full? Take the best of
what people offer, and do not complain of that which you do
not want. It smacks of ingratitude or worse.

Sp? Are you a qualified mental health professional? And if
perchance you were, you'd know you cannot diagnose on such
thin data. What would it matter anyways? Will you only deal
with those whose motive you judge "pure"?

What do you mean exactly, Aristotle?

I presume you're asking about "or worse": Some people belittle
others' in a diseased attempt to reinforce their own self-worth.
Usually in the form of ad-hominem.

There is no excuse for arrogance and rudeness.

Should a beggar be grateful if a passerby gives him a penny and a
sneer?

The data are plentiful. Google's Usenet archives are full of examples.
I myself have experienced his pomposity on many occasions. In fact he
even treats his own brother with disdain. In any case the evidence is
there is his own FAQ, as I have clearly pointed out in my previous
post.

That's because there doesn't need to be one.

Your assumption that these are bad traits is itself pretty arrogant. And
if you, yourself, are so arrogant that you won't accept help from someone
else who's arrogant, that's your problem.

When you ask for help, you have three choices: Take what comes along,
including any rudeness; Put your money on the table, and be prepared to
pay for what you want; or Go without accepting help. You don't get to
dictate how I behave unless you're paying me to behave in a certain way. I
don't need an excuse to be me, and if you don't like it, then take your
high-horse arrogance and go somewhere else for help.

So if there is no excuse for arrogance, then there is no excuse for you to
expect others not to be arrogant as well. You're not the boss of everyone
else.
