Folks,
Yes, you've successfully identified a an individual who, while attempting to appease, got caught up in words. And you were therefore successful in doing nothing but self-congratulation with finely tuned phraseology.
How it is that you attach the phrase "monumental ignorance" to the obvious truth Carlos has published, is beyond me. You may not be enjoying what you may think is arrogance, drama, one-upmanship, or some other sense of defensivenss on your part, but there is no monumental ignorance here. True, there was, so that these letters from the past needed to be republished to show the original intention of actions and thoughts now being taken out of conext.

someone's monumental arrogance. It's been a pleasure to feel a taste
of elegance in your words.
