At least there are a few with a sense of humor around here.

I shouldn't have made that reference to rude people with superior attitudes. My problem is not with rude people who have superior attitudes. Those people are often the most interesting. My problem is with people who are rude, have a superior attitude, but fail to offer wit or insight sufficient to make up for it and are dismissive about opinions that others give in good faith. ManyBenz has the rudeness and superior attitude part down pat, but makes up for it with quality contributions to the conversation. Others are much more tiresome.
