Maybe, but when you do know something, denying it is not modesty, it
is cowardice.
There are some wise people who are afraid of claiming their own
wisdom, because there are always people who will call them arrogant -
with the sole purpose of hiding their own arrogance, the worst kind.
You know, the most arrogant person in the world is the one who says
that he doesn't know, and acts like he does. I've seen several such
specimens on this NG. Like, they don't know anything about
enlightenment, but they know enough to keep preaching to others, and
to lecture me. Very humble assholes indeed. And now, the hypocrite
code of behavior would demand me to play modesty and flatter them, so
that they would accept me into their club. No thanks. I prefer
smashing their bullshit, that could at least result in something
positive, like honesty, for instance. 

But it's more likely that I'll just shrug and leave you to your wise,
humble and fluffy gurus. The market, you know. They're selling because
somebody's buying.
