While I agree with you on the above, I must point out that languages 
change and evolve.  The word "condescending" originally meant that an 
upper class person was willing to "come down" and talk with a servant, 
peasant or other lower class person as an equal, and was meant as a 
compliment.  Quite the opposite, I think you'll agree, from how it's 
used now.
