I mean, that condescension is still your middle name.
As for "full of yourself" I've found some remarks about a certain auctioneer who certainly seems to be!
It's a pity someone has to be so high-handedly dismissive of his betters' attempts to create discussion. Over on Music it's quite common (for those who are ladies and gentlemen) to discuss the posted views of a critic who speaks up on, for instance, performance practice. But you're not having any of that, eh?

Well, if you're not full of yourself, then lets take a look at your half-empty glass: - Audiophilander 09:51:54 12/17/06 (0)

There is no use trying to be polite or appreciative because you'll always interpret complimentary remarks as condescending. Okay, I give up; if you want to be a jerk then far be it from me to stand in your way.

You probably had to look no farther than your own postings, but some folks might find such self-serving rhetoric suspiciously biased.

"Betters" huh? Okay, I yield to your superior ego. ;^)
As for comparing discussions of music criticism to film criticism, m'thinks it's an apples and oranges analogy due to the inherent nature of marketing of both products. The narrow window of opportunity to see films in a theater provides a much different dynamic for discussion and criticsm. Of course you already knew that because we've covered this turf before at greater length. Unfortunately, you seem disinclined to acknowledge those discussions or perhaps you're just claiming memory loss.
In regard to the "for those who are ladies and gentlemen" insertion, I'd rather ignor that bit of egotistical smarmery and drop it in the rhetorical dust bin along with other misdirected slap-down attempts coming from professor Johnsen's word-wrestling arena. "Betters" indeed! ;^D
Never let it be said that your posts aren't entertaining, Clark!
