At least give yourself the credit for that, AC. As much as it pains me to admit it, you've made me feel worthless on many occasions. Although I may not be as intellectual a person as you prefer to associate with, I do consider myself pretty intelligent. I can guarantee there are many members here who are as capable as you are at participating in the discussions here in the GDF, the difference between them and you is the simple fact that you enjoy humiliating people. You thrive on the embarrassment and discomfort of others. Have you ever taken a good look at yourself? You're highly intelligent, and yet you're constantly on the lookout for others less knowledgeable than yourself just so that you can provoke them into a discussion, in order to ride them until they have to resort to underhand retaliation just to get you off their backs. You're one of the nastiest people I've ever had the displeasure of speaking to. And to think I really admired you when we first met.
I'm not responsible for your lack of self-esteem in debates. It's unfortunate, but it's not my doing. Sorry. Don't like it? Steer clear of me. You've chosen not to avoid me many times due to the attention seeker that you admit you are.
I never said there weren't any members as or more capable than me. There are, I'd never deny this. What's your point? The fact that you AREN'T so isn't my fault. Admitting it too.
Me humiliating people is quite often this: We enter a debate, they don't tend to do very well and end up humiliated. It's not a matter of enjoyment, it's a matter of what actually happens. You've even admitted that yourself. So stop being so damn hypocritical. You can't self-diss and then moan when people agree. It's also not a fact that I look for people less smarter than I. A contradiction also, seeing as we both know I don't like to mingle with idiots (you said this in the very post I quoted, ironically).

As for missing points, we're all guilty of that. Maybe I misread a post or two, maybe I get a little over-enthusiastic and skip a post entirely, consequently making myself look a little silly when I comment and it's obvious I don't quite understand the gist. So what? Am I a criminal? I grasp most concepts given enough time, but that's not good enough for you is it? My mistakes are your ammunition, and that's just sad.
"Consequently making myself look a little silly when I comment and it's obvious I don't quite understand the gist."
I made this point and got called a bully for it. You make it about yourself and it's ok? I see. Lovely stuff.
You grasp concepts given time, yes. I never stated otherwise.

I don't want all the attention, I'd be quite happy to give it all to you. Take the spotlight, you're welcome to it. The glare makes you look almost alive.
Ironically an overly dramatic ending. I can hear the violins.
