The Official ITG "RANT!" Thread!

I'm not saying one way or another about anyone on this subject, but there's some puzzling things about your post, Tiza...

First of all, in my experience, if someone can't stop talking about how much dumber everyone is than them, it's usually a sign of vanity and insecurity rather than a substantial statement. In other words, you don't like what someone says, or how they say it, and therefore you decide that they're automatically dumb - the implication being that they're dumber than you.

Remember that it's possible to be immature and/or hyperactive (ESPECIALLY on a message board forum) and not necessarily be stupid. It would have been more appropriate had you said that some of the people here SOUND dumb when they post sometimes. That would be a statement to which I couldn't possibly argue and wouldn't try.

Just remember that you can't be the sole judge on what's intelligent and what isn't. When you try to do so, it ends up being a reflection of YOUR intelligence (not to mention patience and sense of humor) more than anything else.

Now I say this not to insult you or to completely invalidate your point. I'm just suggesting that you think twice before you start throwing out generalizations regarding the intelligence of others.
