Thanks Bridget and John: I have asked myself those questions before, and come up with the same conclusions you both mention. One caveat, however:

5. Are you sensitive to others correcting you?

I think I am only sensitive to complete strangers (under 2 minutes of acquaintance) correcting my technique. Now, if it's the Doshu, a Shihan or a Sensei's seminar that's a little different. From my Sensei, Sempai or even a few trusted Kohai.....lay it on me; I do after all want to get better. If I would have reciprocated (which I could have in spades) it would have just degraded. I chose to not let that happen.
I realize now (after the drugs have worn off a bit) is that I thought, and still think, that that is simply rude behavior. Period.
Now, I will get past this, whatever he says he says, and hope I have found a good training partner.
