No, the lady did not reject my piece as I didn't submit anything to her. I judged her intellect on the fact that I had read numerous pieces written by her, and she wrote completely and utter nonsense. Intellect is reflected in what we write.

I would love to know where the idea comes from that we all have a moral responsibility to make people who don't have what it takes feel as if they are on the same level as people who do. I think that's rather leading them up the garden path, don't you?

I would also love you to give me an example of someone whose hard work is superior to someone who has talent.

I'm not sure how my piece comes off as arrogant. The dictionary defines the word as "unpleasantly proud and behaving as if you are more important than, or know more than, other people."

I would appreciate your input as to where I am guilty of being 'unpleasantly proud and behaving as if I'm more important than other people."

Do tell.
