You're in this interesting little field where no matter how abrasive you get, you mean well (or at the very least seem to) and therefore can't be faulted too much for it. Not saying that as a bad thing, just an observation.
I'm usually pretty uppity hippy-happity-happy on most things, until you start looking into religion/politics/big picture stuff on the world. Those usually crank my cynicism up to 11 and get me pretty arrogant. A healthy chunk of cynicism helps keep your perspective in line, but I fuckin' hate it when I get self-righteous. I blame too much praise by those around me.
