Your title text gave me the same impression that you were characterizing and criticizing Arrow's Theorem folks as "antidemocratic intellectuals" or some such.
This may have been a misunderstanding on my part, but if so, it's apparently a misunderstanding not confined to my reactions alone. mskala's explanation of why it came across that way seems like a sensible one. If you're upset at having been misread, it might be worth rereading his posts a bit more charitably.
