Assuming some basic threshold of intelligence, it's much more important to most people how pleasant someone is to be around than how smart they are. If you do fit into this "antisocial genius" archetype (which you're tossing around every bit as loosely as the author of the article), chances are good that how people treat you has nothing to do with envy, and everything to do with how you treat them.
Just saying, is all.
- mroman 18y agoInteresting that you would state that I am "tossing around" an "'antisocial genius' archetype" "every bit as loosely as the author of the article" . . . first off, WHAT "'antisocial genius' archetype"? . . . (there someone goes again, playing armchair psych, which has been my point all along) second of all, just WHERE did you get this "'antisocial genius' archetype" from in my posts? Serious. Please quote me. Please. You make no sense whatsoever dude.
- prospero 18y ago[The author is] someone who is envious of someone's superior intellect . . . I have been the focus of that sort of envy before As to the antisocial bit, I'm not going to quote your posts in their entirety, but that's a pretty big chip you've got on your shoulder, man.
- mroman 18y agoYeah ok man, I have a chip on my shoulder for stating what I perceive and asking that you quote me after you replied to my post as if it stated something that it simply did not state. Come on bud, get real.
- prospero 18y agoI have taken liberties with your words that were on the internet and which you were probably writing for a receptive audience forgive me they were delicious so righteous and so vehement
- mroman 18y agoThanks for the comedy relief
- prospero 18y agoOkay, I'm sorry, really. I made what I thought (and still think) is an accurate synopsis of your posts. You disagree, and that's fine. I don't think any further progress is going to be made here.
- mroman 18y agoYou still haven't quoted me. It all comes down to that: you insist that my posts state something they do not, and I insist that you back up what you are saying by quoting my posts. Now, if I had MEANT (and yet not precisely written) what you insist I stated, I would say so, and debate my point based on that. That, however, wasn't the case, and I HATE IT when people put words in my mouth (or writing) I can't fn stand it, and I think you noticed, and simply baited me. You really come off like an MBA or some other type of suit clad miscreant - never thought I would run into your type of reaction on a forum for HACKERS. It is rather ironic that yours is basically the type of reaction I have gotten from the crowd at work that I made reference to earlier.
