First, it is somewhat arrogant to presume rudeness when other
things may have been intended. Postings tend to be telegraphic
and emotions and intent is often misread.

Second, excuse is not being requested, so granting it is a moot point.

I cannot say since I have never been a beggar. I would think so.

So? You seem to consider ponposity a serious defect.
I would then expect you to avoid it at all costs. However,
no one can impose their values upon another. Ironically,
attempting to do so might be considered pompous.

Skip the pomposity. What's your point?

Po*m*posity isn't a defect, but writing checks you can't cash makes
you look ridiculous. Bill Gates can be pompous because his
achievements in his industry, regardless of what you think of Windows,
are beyond compare. But it begins to look a little silly when people
like Navvy do it.

I'm not sure how "writing checks you can't cash" fits in
with Navas. What promises has he not performed? He _has_
achievements. Whether they justify the attitude is a
question of personal values. You should expect others to
differ from yours. Expecting agreement is suspicious.

Navvy's biggest issue is his ridicule of others to the point that he
projects an image of superiority that, frankly, hasn't been proven in
any form. Everybody has achievements of one form or another; honestly,
that's not saying much.
