Working in IT i've dealt with a few arrogant, but often brilliant, tech people. I myself can come off as arrogant sometimes, and believe me it's always involuntary. Online I've taken to reading everything I type and trying to imagine reading it from another persons perspective. That way I often throw away comments before posting them. In real life it's much harder because it often takes me a long pause before I can answer someone, that pause is filtering out unnecessary arrogance and "snide".
