In this case, I quoted that statement you made because I am pointing out your sate for the "Recommended" intellectual level of people you don't even know well enough to make such judgments. A statement or two is not enough, hence why they are unnecessary.You don't have to be direct with statements so that it can mean something in the exact same way the opposition accuses. It can sometimes be written all over the person's face.
Just keep that in mind. I'm speaking up because I feel i'm the only one seeing this.
Irrelevant.
I patronized his comment, because it was not very bright. I am not denying this, because it was a rather silly post. Are you in all honesty saying that it isn't so?
You should know the difference between targeting a world in general and the individuals in it. We are on the Internet, and many Online spend the majority of their days Online. We are surrounded by movie nerds, by game nerds and comic nerds.
You are a bright person. You should know that I didn't target anyone in specific, and you should also know that if I spoke of this forum in total, I would also be including myself and it was for that reason not intended as an insult. My mere state of being is insult enough to me, I don't need to add words.
Now, one bright mind to another: One does not suffer from superiority complex simply because one consider a particular comment to be beneath a certain intellectual level.
"Recommended" is a matter of relativity. For someone to take something so general so personal, something's not in the right. You must agree on this, regardless of my approach on the matter. In whatever way I have written what I have, it was not an intellectual statement by him. Hate me if you want, it's not less true.

It is a matter of self-control. Online, maturity is something so simple as holding your tongue. It is not hard to appear more mature, when you have the shield of a screen before you. The time to think before you act.
Also, Hunter was never bad at formulating himself. He was just sloppy, and could easily be better at what he did if he just focused. Something I've debated with him before, something I've expressed to such an intense level that this thread got closed because it became a "heated argument".

Originally posted by Super Marie 64This was not the point to my assertions. It probably was between you and Mod, but I am just pointing your formulation of words and the way you express your self to be totally unnecessary here.

You considered YOURSELF above others based on this recommended intelligence level nonsense.. This has nothing to do with comparison of the statement of others. Just you comparing yourself/belittling others.
I'm just trying to get a good response from you and I know you are much better than that and I am hoping I am misunderstanding here.

Moderator is rational as Hunter is not. Upon subjects Moderator has discussed, I doubt Hunter would even be able to grasp them to the point of exposing himself and getting himself banned. He has failed three times...I doubt he has learned his lesson, especially in a psychological and intellectual manner. How can it occur to someone that their own personality and intelligence is a spoiler to their temporary anonymous identity all of a sudden? I think it's a bit too much effort for an internet forum...Especially in this case.
It's called being "Realistic". I've gone over this with you before. An educated speculation. One cannot just adapt to a certain way so quickly, even online. How can you encourage this ammount of effort? -_-

Just because I consider myself within the borders of an intellectual ideal, does not mean I suffer from superiority complex.
Just because I find myself illimited by the public idea of proper manners, does not mean I'm wrong or arrogant. It just means that I've chosen the neutral, realistic path over the socially idealistic path. There are those more intellectual than others in this world, and anyone who says differently is proof of this claim. Does that mean I think less of them?
No. I just believe brushing this fact under the carpet isn't the best solution. Deal with it instead, and push the general idea of proper manners to its limits and then some. Break the bounds created by those frail at heart, to the point where simple truth and intellectual statements seem mean, rude, insultive.
Is this socially unacceptable? To many. That does not make a stupid statement less stupid, just because it is naughty to say that something is indeed stupid.
The problem I have, and the root to what's now become a discussion between the two of us, is the fact that we live in a world where intellect is replaced with the delusion of manners.
- "That statement is stupid"
- "Noo, you can't say that. It's not nice. You're a bad person"
- "It's still stupid"
- "Don't say that. You're hurting his feelings"
- "He needs to learn to think before he write"
- "But he's not here to learn. He's here to enjoy himself"
- "Life's a lesson. Take it in and make the best of it"
- "But you don't have to be so mean about it"
- "I'm not, I'm honest. It'd be mean to lie about it not being so. It'd be mean to allow the person to think there's nothing wrong with the statement. It would block the person from evolving from its failure to not present the problem to the obviously oblivious"
I believe that every experience we have in our life, every action we make and all that is done around us define who we are, and who we become.
I do not write the things I do to be mean. I do not write the things I do because I think I'm better. I don't get in fight after fight because I like it.
The things I do, I do because it is a new experience for me and for the other person. Every fight, every discussion, every new perspective that I learn and that I pass onto other is another experience that help define who I, or you as a person become.
What did I hope to accomplish with this?
- Maybe, just maybe did Moderator23, from this development take in the thought of not jumping to conclusions based on a vague statement.
- Maybe he learnt that I'm a *****.
- Maybe he learnt to think twice before sending a post, and read it through with the thought that just because it may seem like a good idea at the time, does not mean it is?
- Maybe someone learnt the way of thinking "Do I need to post this?" and "What do I hope will come from this? What do I think will come from this?", and my personal favorite "Am I ready to face the music, if this post is interpreted negatively? Can this post be interpreted negatively?"
Every experience we face in our life, help us evolve.
You may not believe this, you probably don't, you don't really have a reason to do so, but: The things I do, I do for you. For everyone that read my posts. For myself. Evolution is the strength of mankind, and I genuinely believe I can make a difference in the world by deviating from the idealistic whimp of a forum user that the rest of the community expect me to be.
Am I a rude person? To you. To Moderator23. To most.
Am I a rude person? Not to me. I believe I am a helper.
I conclude with the statement that this is my opinion. I do not expect you to agree. I do not care if you do not agree. I do not need you to state that you do not agree. The world knows it: I am radical. I am my own person. I do not need anyone to tell me that I do not think like everyone else.
Which brings us to the "No-Life" topic that I ended up avoiding with Moderator23, because he doesn't seem like the kind of person that can just sit down and listen. That is just my prejudice, of course.
My case: You are just letters on a screen. Thus' you aren't living. Ergo, we all have no life because black on white has no pulse.
