and by arrongant smartass, i didn't mean ones that seriously disrupt. (which IMO, the doc hasn't) i meant smartasses that have at least a small amount of overconfidence. i'd say most of us are smartasses. i'm not trying to argue anything. i'm not great with words and this all was unessessary. a decission was made. its over.

Drake - you've time and time again proven yourself to be a voice of reason. We don't always agree, but you've earned my respect by putting forth a logical argument. You've been a smartass - I've been a smartass. But - through it all, clearly you are not so thin-skinned to think that I'm trying to flame you by and occasional busting of your chops. That comes from more than posting respectful posts the first few times, then jumping on the senior members of the board like they were some kind of pariah. That comes from being involved in the community for a while, participaing and understanding the dynamics of it.

What doc didn't realize, and probably won't, is that CC is a great guy. CC may bust balls because he's a grammarian, but he's a stand up guy. For doc to even think he was going to "eliminate" CC, because CC was hated by "many" of the membership is both arrogant and ignorant. Arrogant and ignorant because he thought CC was hated by "many" of the members, and arrogant and ignorant because he thought he was going to eliminate CC.
