I have read most of the posts and I still am not convinced arrogance is always a bad thing. Overconfidence and arrogance could be interchangable, sometimes the arrogance starts as a joke and eventually becomes a belief, sometimes the arrogance is only inspired by someone elses belief in that person. There are other explainations too, I just don't see it as always being something to throw scorn on | |||||||

It was just the Nazis that gave arrogance a bad name.

To the OP, First i do think that there are some arrogant Doms/Dommes but not much different to any other walk of like, and this forum has a lot less that some of my hobby related web sites!! for me the difference between arrogance and self confidence, is that the arrogant will talk loudly and at length about things they know nothing about, having so much to prove.
while self confidence it is knowing what you know and not feeling the need to shout about it, and always willing to learn and admit what you dont know Stercus accidit | |||||||

Confidence is great and very sexy but arrogance is when you can't really justify what you say about yourself. I've known some very good dominant men but I wouldn't call any arrogant at all. Do we have some real examples of arrogance? " Arrogant (Ar"ro*gant) (#), a. [F. arrogant, L. arrogans, p. pr. of arrogare. See Arrogate.] 1. Making, or having the disposition to make, exorbitant claims of rank or estimation; giving one's self an undue degree of importance; assuming; haughty; -- applied to persons. "Arrogant Winchester, that haughty prelate." Shak. 2. Containing arrogance; marked with arrogance; proceeding from undue claims or self-importance; -- applied to things; as, arrogant pretensions or behavior." | |||||||

Is it really arrogance when you KNOW you are a superior being? | |||||||

I am pretty sure they are not going to respond to you now, because they Zugzwanged you with their last post.
I do not think it was for them, it certainly was not for me.
I cannot see it myself. However, they and various others, did ask reasonable questions about the relevance of your statements on this and other threads. Unfortunately your posts do come across in exactly the way you accuse others of been.
Yes, it is only a website (apologises to @Admin). An individuals posts give a distinct impression of themselves and their personality. I would refer you to @Ishamel's post, but doubt you would see the apparent linkage that has been created by yourself: http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/284496/1/...
Obviously, it was an excellent parody on your username at the time, and some seemingly outlandish posts.
Well at least you got that bit partially right. The phrase you are looking for is bullet magnet.
