1) To whom are you speaking?
2) Who said that if they felt like it, it was just as valid as anything? I
don't recall anything like that.

Who called who an arrogant fool to begin with?

I don't recall anyone claiming they knew much beyond things they could
actually
cite or things that we all know they know. If people posting didn't know much,
they said that what they were saying was as much opinion (and therefore,
personal, and perfectly reasonable to disagree with) as anything else.
