Yes, the great ones are not vain...and do not sit upon a high horse. They do not need to boast...their work stands alone in their accomplishments. Those who fall into that category...I am always humbled that they take the time to offer information up to one such as myself.It is my belief that a truly great teacher does not promote himself as being above others. Nor ridicules those in error.
I truly can't respect those who promote themselves as superior by belittling the less knowledgeable.
I don't care who you are putting down or how "stupid" they are.

This is how people communicate today... The written word is being replaced with emojis, busted spelling and abbreviations.
With occasional interruptions due to falling into open man-holes, open pits, ditches, poles, other people, ponds, fountains, and being hit by cars, bicycles, busses, landing air craft, taking off air craft, crashing air craft due to the same problem where the pilot is texting, surfing the net, checking porn, doing more than checking porn, and typing that some perceived idiot on Bnut has dissed him.
