Good luck getting a response from a mod - we've been trying for several months now.

Right - how to express oneself using the written word without sounding like an unjustifiably self-important tool is just ONE example of information the brain must process in order for us to be able to presume intelligence.

Don't you seem a problem in coming to a forum and making a point of repeatedly mentioning how intelligent how you are and that people find it difficult to keep up with you, then moaning that we've got a superiority complex when we take you down a peg?

YEAH!!!

............. Except that I didn't "come up with another reason" (which would be a reason which is OTHER than the one you gave, since you clearly have difficulty comprehending simple and frequently-used words). I simply examined your explanation and pronounced it bullshit, whilst simultaneously demonstrating that it's bullshit because of the inherent contradiction within your own definition of intelligence as the ability to process information when the ability to write well necessitates absorbing...... that's right...... INFORMATION. I rule, you continue to suck at verbal expression, God is in his heaven and all is well in his world.

Spin again.

I even stated in that same sentence that I wasnt trying to sound like a pompous prick(in different phrasing), whether I did or not was beyond my control since I had no other way of explaining my point. In no way did I intend to make it sound like I think everyone is below me(nor did I even directly express that, come to think of it), so all this bullshit about how I think I'm God needs to stop. I dont walk around with my nose in the air looking down at everyone around me. As a matter of fact, that goes against 90% of everything I stand for. Hell, go to my profile and look at my picture, does that look like a guy who thinks he's a superior life form? Hell no, imo it looks more like a hippy stoner(I have never liked my appearance).

I apologize for coming off as a self righteous ass, but I am honestly saying right now that in reality I am far from that.

'Coming off' as a self-righteous ass? Time for a direct quote:

"I am a very intelligent person, and my way of thinking is often too complex for people"

Don't make it seem like we misinterpreted your humble statements. You literally came here and said "I'm so fucking clever, nobody can keep up."

I never said you misinterpreted anything I said. I admitted that what I said sounded pompous, and I apologized for it. I was describing myself, its not easy to tell someone that you're intelligent without sounding like you think you're the shit. I get it all the time, and some people are able to understand my intention and move on, others, however, seem to be unable to comprehend that what I said may not have been intended to imply what it appeared to have implied.

Fair enough. Stick around, we'll teach you how to argue to devastating effect. ;]

Actually, most of the people here seem to get on fine with other people, none of this "goths are outcasts" crap, can't blame the fact that nobody likes you on your music taste.

Hours searching? Are you implying that belittling people on the internet is an uneconomical use of time? Reading your thread took about a minute and a half, and for that minor investment I've been rewarded with about four years worth of ways to make you feel inferior== seems like quite a bargain from my end.

Yet you guys seem to have turned this place into a flaming hypocracy, since it seems that you cannot live without trying to make everyone feel inferior to you.
Okay, you don't know what goth is, but I'll roll with your misconception. Say we're all outcast from society for various reasons, like I've got a withered stump for a right arm, JCC had a facial transplant, and an oracle told Godslayer Jillian's parents that he was going to kill his dad and marry his mom. Does that necessarily make us inclined to chill with lepers and child rapists? No. There are degrees to these things..

You are of course entitled to your opinion, however dont expect many people to add up to your godliness when you were able to spell on a 5th grade level at the age of 4.

It makes perfect sense. I'm sure everyone else is totally capable of understanding that metaphor, but I'll cut you some slack because your thoughts are so complex that sometimes you trip over them and shit.

Again, could you explain how my illustrating that "having quick intelligence" is the DICTIONARY DEFINITION of smart verifies your conception of 'smart' as 'managing to spell' and 'intelligent' as 'processing information easily, but necessarily not so easily that you can learn to spell'?

'Blunt'? Fucking 'blunt'? That's a fifth grade reading level? It has one syllable. A single vowel surrounded by consonants. It's spelled exactly like it sounds.

I really dont care anymore, because honestly, nothing he or anyone else says can change who I am, or how smart/intelligent I may or may not be. I'm done with the pointless arguing.

Chill out, homes. People will say what they want. You can either laugh about it, or cry about it. Your choice. It's more fun if you can sit back and laugh about it, though.
