No problem, just my surprise at the overwhelming mass of comments criticizing the poster. I'm not saying his actions were perfect, but similar posts in the past (such as "Stupid Interview Questions") elicited a much more balanced split between criticizing the interviewee's actions and criticizing the interviewer's actions. I just expected something else from the aggregate of responses, which is not the same thing as disagreeing with any one individual response.

In a real world situation people's reactions might have been different. I guess it is just easy to interpret different things into a written account of the interview (like "arrogance").
My surprise was at the aggregate tone of the posts being about the interviewee and almost nothing questioning why the interviewee kept hammering away at the pre-conceived point of the question.
But I don't have any issue with any one individual person's conclusion.
