Diogenes does sometimes go a bit over the top - but it always seems to me as though he does it for the purpose of stopping people in their tracks and making them THINK about what they posted. Sometimes it works, sometimes it goes pear-shaped and people lose their cool.
And I have seen posts from Liliara to Diogenes that are almost word for word what he said. He was doing her no injustice, as even Liliara will concede, I think, though I believe he would have been wiser not to have said it!
I know him a little bit now - enough I think, to say that he does not consider himself to be mentally or morally superior to anyone. He IS intelligent. I do NOT think he is always right. He is sometimes very hasty, imo.
He DOESN'T want people to 'bow down' before him, he wants people to THINK, rather being driven by the emotion of the moment.
And yes - he DOES say things that make me cringe sometimes - but don't we all?
He's a nice guy.
And I like you, too! 
Us arrogant people should stick together, lol!

Thank you, milady Fljotsdale.
And you are right, it would have been wiser not to have made that comment . . .
