I'm arrogant ?

I'm feeling a bit annoyed this morning, because a user here on Deviant Art, who in the past has often left nice comments on some of my uploads and Journals, has today on an old upload, not gonna say which one but it's an old one nonetheless, had the nerve to call ME arrogant.

I'm not going to say why they've called me this, rest assured I have now blocked this user because I don't take kindly to being called such things, and simply replied to the ignorant user with a simple 'Goodbye ' as I did not want to get into an argument with this user as I've had enough arguments in my life on and off the computer and try to avoid arguments whenever possible as I'm tired of it.

I will freely admit that there are times I can be arrogant, but for the record, I am not the most arrogant person on the face of the earth, trust me when I say I have encountered people with far more arrogance then I could ever hope to imagine.

But at least I'm happy to admit that I can be arrogant at times even thou I am not the most arrogant of human beings, so at least I'm not trying to show any form of denial by admitting it in this Journal.

I admit also that I can't always be right about everything, and I can't always win an argument, but at the end of the day, I'm only human as much as the rest of you, and I am fallible just as anybody else is . . . . because no human being in perfect, and neither am I.

I'm so glad that many of you here on Deviant Art don't regard me as arrogant, especially if you happen to be one of only a few Deviant Art users I could happily name on this Journal who has had the privilege to meet me in person for real at the London MCM Expo / MCM London Comic-Con events of recent years and enjoyed talking to me when I've met them, and I know for a fact that these good people who I like to regard as real life friends and not just friends on this very site would not dare to regard me as arrogant after they've met me.

True, a lot of you live around the world, and others in other parts of the UK which is where I'm from probably never will meet me anyhow, but I feel sometimes people judge me unfairly as they have not gotten to know me better first.

Lot's of nice users who've never met me would would no doubt say that I am always being kind and polite to them in my comments, and they'd obviously receive the same kind manner I give them on this site if I was to met them in person, because I don't want people getting the impression "oh that Jason who calls himself Doctor Who One is an arrogant twat, I met him at Expo and for no reason he told me to fuck off just like that", because I don't want to be viewed in such a way.

I always try my best to be kind, caring, and polite as best as possible as would no doubt be expected of me.

If you was to spot me in say London MCM Expo / MCM London Comic-Con or up London itself in Forbidden Planet or Tokyo Toys and told me you know me from Deviant Art, then I would naturally be polite to you rather then just shout "PISS OFF !!" to your face.

And to be honest, I feel over time in my life that I have in the past been unfairly judged by people for some reason or another.

But I will say this - the next time you feel like calling someone else arrogant, take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror, and think back to all the times you've been called arrogant by others, and then see how you feel about being called arrogant before calling somebody else that, because it could turn out your the one who's way far more arrogant then the person your about to call that.

I think it's fair to say to end this Journal - THINK BEFORE YOU CALL SOMEONE ELSE ARROGANT.
