You'll make your mark on the world, telling people that they're unintelligent. I'm sure then that they'll strive harder to achieve your level of perceptitude.

I'd say that you're about avg. intelligence.. with a bit more wit then some.. but nothing more.
Clearly, it's demeaning. You think people should send out their little reps saying "you're dumb" without getting demeaned? Since christina>you was ignorant of the behavior people have come to expect of her, you don't think she should be informed of that fact? She usually is the nicest person on the forum, but I don't think passive aggressive behavior needs to be tolerated. If she knows her behavior to be truly good and just, then she should regard my opinion of her reputation (if you'll excuse the pun) as the ravings of an idiot lunatic.
I don't see what you mean by "better than others." That doesn't make sense. You can't compare people and declare one to be "better" than another. Well, I suppose you could do such a thing, if you felt like being silly. Regardless, I don't think I've come across as acting as if intelligence is a primary virtue: if anything, it's curiosity, expressiveness, and recognition of the fundamental absurdity of things that I've treated as good characteristics in people.
The interesting question is the following: Why do you jump to the assumption that intelligence is a way I tell that people are "better" than others? Why do you treat genetic anomalies as meritable traits at all? I'll leave the analysis of joshSCH's opinions regarding his position in society as an exercise for the reader.
And if you think my posts aren't brilliant, I must inform you that, well, I'm sorry if I don't solve the Riemann Hypothesis every once in a while. I try.

haha.. I find it funny that you post very seriously when I post something regarding your intelligence..
I never said anything about intelligence being regarded as a primary virtue.. nor did I say it was a way to compare others. By "better", I most clearly mean the fact that someone views himself as superior than another human. The idea that some people's lives are valued higher than other's.. And valued based on what? Obviously, by your post, by intelligence
I said nothing of relating the two.. you inferred so though. At first, I commented on how your post seemed arrogant and egotistical. The fact that you always seem to post satirically.. Further, I began to evaluate your intelligence based on what I thought.. which shouldn't mean anything to you.. However, you seem to have taken great offense to my post.
I think you post with wit and humor.. but nothing extraordinary.

I agree, and they are walking on thin ice (meaning infraction) if they continue that.

I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook

S'OK, nobody is saying you started anything. All I am saying is that everyone needs to stop it, and stop it now.
As for the smilies situation, the reason it is in the list twice is that someone might want to use it for either poking their tongue out or winking, which are different things. The same graphical representation fulfills both though, if you see what I mean.

So the meaning of a post gets lost in the ambiguity between wink or tongue. Not a good decision IMAO.
