ORIGINAL: Elisabella Now this is just a wild guess, but I'm going to assume the party with the "poor if not erroneous position" is the one that you disagree with? At the moment, yes. quote:
ORIGINAL: Elisabella For as much as you might be incredulous at people's moral and self righteous indignations, you really can't help framing your argument in the exact same way, claiming the intellectual high ground rather than the moral one. That's because it has qualified as such. It's not vanity when it's accurate. I realize this is an oft used sly method of detracting from someone's points, but people being aware that their assessments are correct aren't automatically guilty of intellectual vanity for knowing so. Now, people who happen to be wrong and still hold tight to denial for desperation of not being wrong, that's when you've got a delusion. quote:
ORIGINAL: Elisabella Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against arrogance or snobbery. But only when accompanied by self-awareness. Self-awareness is irrelevant. Awareness of the facts isn't. And, really...arguing for self-awarneness from the position of being incapable of seeing how your point is an insult to any civilized concept of tolerance and psychological understanding of humanity seems rather...how would you put it? Hypocritical? That is what you're trying to accuse me of, yes?
