I’m trying to come to grips with some stuff, and could use your help.
Do I come across as arrogant to you? In person or here?
I’m really asking this to learn about myself.
See, I don’t think I am arrogant, but I know I feel somewhat aloof at times, especially when I’m in crowds; it’s kind of a defense mechanism that I think is getting stronger as I get older. I can see where this might result in behavior that comes across as arrogant.
But I’m unsure of other things I may or may not be doing, and I would like to hear about them. Seriously, and not defensively.
I’m trying to be a better person when it comes to ensuring that my words match my deeds and vice versa. I would appreciate your help.
Thanks. And don’t be shy, ok?

Soly based on your posts — not arrogant at all. You frequently hold strong opinions, but I do not even know you hold them strongly. That is, on occasions when we were deliberating some issues, you would offer reasons in support of your views — that is not arrogance.
I also noticed you mention, in another post, the issue of talking about mental problems. I think it’s positive — especially if it helps you. It certainly helps others.
Take care, Tony!!

I agree with everyone else’s opinion, or at least the overall one I’ve gotten here. Intelligent and questioning, yes. Arrogant at times toward Slam, yes (it’s catching). Overall, no. But I don’t know you in person…

Nope.
Usually arrogant people don’t even entertain the idea that they may be arrogant.
Also, your articulated opinions are a very nice oasis amongst the bad netspeak that makes up most of LJ land.
I think you’re mistaking arrogance for simply being human. Most people are far too vain to admit anything that may have them shunned, and refuse to form opinions on anything. It’s terribly annoying, because they reiderate arguments from other people and that leads to nothing but mass stupidity…
But back to the arrogance bit. Nope. Not at all. There is nothing wrong with being bold, opinionated, and informed. It’s really something admirable. Instead of pointlessly flaming particular groups, you smack them with clue-by-fours cleverly disguised as LJ entries.
And hey, if you know you’re right? Go tell it on the mountains! You just have a strong personality. That’s cool.
Arrogance also involves putting yourself above everyone else and refusing to go down to anyone’s level to help them. That’s nowhere in the definition of Tony, and I could prove it if I had to.
Some people see brains and a strong personality as arrogance. Let people interpret things how they wish. *shrug*
In sum? If you’re arrogant, then I’m a histrionic biatch. ^_^
LJ is a journal with a wide girth of readers. It is your right to write in it whatever you want, and whatever you feel nessecary. If that be opinions about something, an attempt to change people’s views, so be it.

You don’t seem arrogant to me. I’m surprised you even ask that. You seem opinionated (in a good way). You seem thoughtful. You get pissed off from time to time. You struggle. For me, those are good things. I’m not getting the arrogance. You’ve got to try harder if that’s your goal!

Well…can’t argue with any of that.
And not sure I want to. I am angry with the structure and trappings of slam; I feel so disappointed in the way it’s failed its early promise.
I feel betrayed. And it comes through, I’m sure.
If that’s arrogance, then I guess that’s ok with me.

When it comes to slam poetry, you are intelligent, competent, experienced, perceptive, and outspoken, all of which put you in an excellent position from which to offer criticism.
But quite often, anger and bitterness are seething under the surface. To maintain control, you adopt an austere demeanor, but enough of the acridity seeps to make your criticisms sound more sniping than constructive. Add that to how outspokenly critical you are, and it tends to give an impression of arrogance.

I think you have strongly held opinions and an intimidating presence, two of the three criteria for being judged as arrogant. But here, at least, you lack the third, necessary criteria, which is the inability or unwillingness to listen to other people. Whether that third ingredient comes into play in other places, like your workplace for instance, I couldn’t say, as I only know you here.

Whether that third ingredient comes into play in other places, like your workplace for instance, I couldn’t say, as I only know you here.

I hope not.
…because if you qualify as arrogant, than I really am a megalomaniacal control freak!
And, of course, I’m not. Right?
Seriously, though, as several others have said here, you’re a smart guy that’s not afraid to speak his mind. You can be extremely passionate but you’re not all in-your-face about with opinions, experience and/or knowledge. The definition of “Arrogance” is somewhat subjective, filtered through one’s own self-confidence, or lack thereof, so I can see where some people might consider you arrogant. But really, they’re just stupid and should be smacked around for it.

you’re intelligent and confident. to people who aren’t so self-assured, that’s arrogance. i understand the aloofness thing. i am very much the same way, especially at readings. people tend to think that they know you when you read introspective pieces. i’ve had people grab at me and grope me after erotic pieces, cling to me after difficult ones. it’s disconcerting. i need to have a little distance.
but to answer your question, no.

I find you to be a strong voice and opinionated…but that’s okay, it beats being whiney and indecisive. I’ve managed to miss your feature every time you come to Newark, so I’d have to reserve judgement on arrogance until I meet you in person.

I’ve never found you to be arrogant. I dunno if the same goes for you, but I find that as I get older, my bullshit tolerance gets smaller and smaller. Sometimes people mistake that for arrogance.

just the opposite:
searching, seeking, self-questioning, being willing to engage the world with minimal guile or mask.
BUT: sometimes you passionately articulate a viewpoint (even if you’re just trying it on to see if it holds water) and i know from my own experiences that that can be mistaken for cocksure arrogance.

Although I’ve never met you, I’d say you seem crisp, rather than arrogant. Straightforward. Shy me gets a little ruffled because it means I’m not sure how some stuff is meant, but I think straightforward is indeed a good thing.

Re: I think you’re an arrogant bastard
Oh my god, if I wasn’t sitting in a cubicle in a nearly silent office I’d be laughing so loudly right now…
But anyway. I don’t think you really come off as arrogant, but I can see where the uninformed and wishy-washy masses are really put off by someone who is smart and has real opinions on things. So…You? Arrogant? No. I guess I’m not really familiar with you in real life vs. on Livejournal right now, but I was really pleased when you added me to your friends list. I love it when intelligent people decide they are interested in what I have to say.
Actually, what I really said was, “Hey, that arrogant bastard Tony Brown put me on his friends list. Dammit.” *wink wink*

When you talk about slam, yes, you do come across that way. Otherwise, no, not that I can recall.

In short: no.
In long: I think being introverted and needing personal space is often misinterpreted. People want immediate connection and attention a lot of the time, and don’t always get that it can be overwhelming to some.
So when the people who need outward or physical establishment of connection are mildly rebuffed by those who need space for processing and well-being, they sometimes mistake it for rejection or worse, redouble efforts for attention, which ends up escalating everyone’s discomfort.
It’s not so much that I mind saying hi to people or hugging, as that it takes me a bit to shift gears. When someone’s insisting on handling me or makes me feel socially pressured by their negative emotional reaction, I want the contact even less.
Some days, I just want the world at arm’s length, not because I dislike it, but because I’m anxious or stressed or just frickin’ tired, and I wish it were easier to get that space without having to deal with all the assumptions piled on it making it easier to deal with my own discomfort than all the explaining.

So when the people who need outward or physical establishment of connection are mildly rebuffed by those who need space for processing and well-being, they sometimes mistake it for rejection or worse, redouble efforts for attention, which ends up escalating everyone’s discomfort.
It’s not so much that I mind saying hi to people or hugging, as that it takes me a bit to shift gears. When someone’s insisting on handling me or makes me feel socially pressured by their negative emotional reaction, I want the contact even less.
Some days, I just want the world at arm’s length, not because I dislike it, but because I’m anxious or stressed or just frickin’ tired, and I wish it were easier to get that space without having to deal with all the assumptions piled on it making it easier to deal with my own discomfort than all the explaining.

Shrug, it’s not as if the title arrogant cannot be applied to me.
On a different note though… denotatively arrogance is an overbearing sence of self-worth, or an assumption of superiority.
If a person has earned that sense of self importance or is, in the context of a given discussion, superior they can not — denotatively — be arrogant.
We all spend so much time these days, guarding and couching our language in such a manor as to avoid the meerist hint of offense in it’s content and tonal quality.
Maybe it’s the engineer in me, but it seems a waste of time to me.
When i speak with you about poetry or punk rock or a number of other subjects, i expect you to take on a tone of authority that others may consider arrogant because you _are_ more knowledgable then i am, and you have _earned_ your status as a powerful an influential poet.
To me arrogance is only an issue when the attitude rolls from a topic of knowledge to a topic of ignorance.

an arrogant poet? never!
arrogant? very rarely.
with that said, i think there are three things about you that may give some the impression of arrogance:
1. you are intelligent & don’t try to hid it
2. you say what you think
3. you have high standards (both for yourself & others)
you tend to expect a lot of yourself & those around you.
you don’t have a high tolerance for bullshit or small talk.
to some, this may look like arrogant behavior, to me, it is who you are.
(& i like who you are)
as for other behaviors, i really hate when you cover me with silly string at four in the morning. (& who gave you a key to the apartment anyway?)

arrogant? not particularly. better informed than the Average Duck, yes – & the Average Duck may read that in a variety of ways, as the Average Duck isn’t always comfortable being informed (that they’re not that well informed).
does that make sense at all?

On occasion, it’s seemd so to me, but i have a habbit of raising peoples hocks and “arrogance”, in my humble experience is often part of a defensive response… so i tend to ignore it.
Look, i’m not being shy *grin*.
Hope this is at least slightly useful…

because my 2 cents are always worth a nickel
I’ve never thought you arrogant, T.
just informed. which can come across to others, maybe, as arrogant, but I’ve never heard of it.
like Victor said, you may seem abrasive, but that’s only because you’re being compared to a bunch of foofy, huggy poets that don’t know boundaries.
i duck out of places all the time just to avoid hugging and kissy-cheeking good-bye, and it seems to me like you are similar in that regard.

>Do I come across as arrogant to you? In person or here?
In all honesty, almost never.
>I know I feel somewhat aloof at times, especially when I’m in crowds; it’s kind of a defense mechanism that I think is getting stronger as I get older. I can see where this might result in behavior that comes across as arrogant.
Sometimes, when you enter a poetry reading, you have the vibe of some idiot just cut you off on the road, and you’re gonna get that bastard. Which I sometimes attribute to your reservedness in crowd–which I think is a more exact term, really. But then I remember we usually see each other in Worcester, and some idiot probably DID just cut you offm and you probably WILL get that bastard.
But aside from coming off a bit reserved–which is not the same as aloof or arrogant–no. Not at all.
