Yes, he never has been afraid to tell us how good he is.

So, why is it that such a professional chooses to be so unprofessional in his approach to participating in an otherwise friendly online community of people with similar interests. Instead of being friendly and helpful to us "amateurs", he chooses to insult and antagonize a group of people that, if he's as good as he says he is, would benefit greatly from his alleged knowledge and experience, and thus in turn receive their gratitude, friendship, and (gasp!) maybe even a little helpful advice in return now and again. It's pathetic really.
