This really isn't the place for my own observations, but from what I've seen, it seems like there's a huge amount of arrogance on these forums. Not the "I'm holier than thou" attitude that you usually equate with arrogance, but subtle stuff, like a nit-picky correction or addition that only serves to make someone look more right than the person they're responding to. It's pretty funny to watch the chains of one-upping if you're looking for it.

Good point, Slacker. I've run into this in the workplace as well. In fact, sometimes it almost sinks to the point of discussing religions and politics -- someone thinks they are right, or "more right", or "better", and no matter how long you discuss it, people's minds probably are not going to change....
