Well, let's say, just for the sake of argument, we excise from this article my "Y'all know I'm right about this!" one-liner (which I fully admit was garish, on my part -- and I would liken it to Judge Judy's tongue-in-cheek one-liner of "Of course I'm right! I'm always right!" [even though she's exaggerating that, when she actually says it])

Aside from that one line, what else did I say, within this article, that was so objectionable to you?

And as for your assertion that I sound "arrogant," here...

Incidentally enough, I had already addressed that perception in my other most recently published piece:
