This blog tries to avoid the first person of the personal pronoun.
This is exceptional.
Back in the early 1970s letters would arrive from Archbishop's House concerning clerical behaviour. Everything about the letters, from the address to the final signature was pompous, pretentious and arrogant.
I can recall reading one of those letters and asking who did the author think he was.
Back then I imagined. Now I know
I believe that style, that mind set has not changed, maybe getting worse.
