Since I think that I'm the "other monk" as it were, I would like to point out that on refleciton I think my rant was less at people asking meta questions, it was aimed at people who asked the meta question then blindly assumed that it was answered how they wanted it to be and went from there.

Since that sentence is a bit wordy, I think I can sum up by saying "Arrogance is bad mmkay?", at least in the sense that it's irritating that people blindly assume they know more then you and then answer based on their assumptions. Or at least it's annoying when people do it in an annoying fashion =].
