part of maturity is also having the humility to admit that you may have presumed too much, and that your feeble words may not be valuable, especially if mired in aristocracy.

you presume (again) that i lack maturity because i point out your "social gaucheries", (though your words could not adequately be defined as gaucheries, but rather as condescensions), and that i would have to possess this elusive quality in order to "accept" or "understand" what you are saying and HOW you are saying it. that's a very nifty way of not admitting that you're an aristocratic prick. so far, no one has dealt with the issue i've raised...they have merely defended their actions while tearing down the accuser in the process. maturity involves seeing your own faults and admitting them.

i certainly CAN dispassionately view your remarks. i only hope that those who come here looking for connection and kindred spirit are not as turned off by some of the pretension and false wisdom that resides here as i am.
