I was having a difficult time portraying three things.
1: How he came across to me (politely).
2: How I behave instead.
3: The motivation for why I behave the way I do: because of how I believe people will perceive my actions. (Note: this assumes that the general public would perceive his/my actions the same way I do. While not necessarily true, I don't have any framework to work off of but myself :s).
Obviously I failed at succintly explaining that because I came across quite arrogantly myself. I wish I was wiser and could have put it better :s. I didn't mean to say 'you are an asshole', but 'from the situation you've just described, it seems to me you acted in ways that had assholish qualities'. :P
