[NSRCA-discussion] The real rason Pattern flyers are seenasElitists...

[george w. kennie]

It may be possible that if you think someone is a snob, you may not know the 
individual in question well enough. Sometimes I think we're too quick to 
give up on trying to understand opposing viewpoints. Something like, "Rush 
to Judgement".  Usually generates negative perceptions.
Ahhh, the human persona !
