As we all know, verbosity to you is a virtue, hilariously illustrated 
in this overblown diatribe.

[Arlo]
Just another evasion. Expected.

[Arlo repeats his evaded questions]
Where is the "arrogance" in this? Is it "arrogant" to give the 
university student a textbook that's more complex than "Dick and Jane 
in England"?

So in a philosophy forum, who is the "average reader" you feel can't 
keep up with the "academic" talk? I mean other than you. Is it 
arrogant for DMB to talk about the nuances of James' ideas? Or John 
to post with a synthetical analysis of Royce and Pirsig? Just how 
"dumb" do you think the "average reader" is here?

Let me see if I understand. When YOU can't understand something, its 
not YOU, its the fault of an arrogant, elitist author who hasn't 
dumbed down his writing enough for YOU to be able to easily 
understand it?? Ai yi yi...

Viva l'ignorance!!

[Arlo adds]
How about another personal attack on me instead? Maybe that will make 
people forget you're evading the questions...

Seriously, do you never tire of such atrocious rhetoric? Aren't you 
even the slightest bit embarrassed by your tactics? Shame on you.
