So true!

And there are all types of intellectuality as well. One can be very intellectual in one field, but not in another. Same with any form of "giftedness" or talent.

For instance, for many years as a child, I was invited to attend this particular summer camp that was geared toward kids with high intelligence, but it focused on maths and sciences and frankly, it sounded horrible to me. I never wanted to go after looking over the curriculum. Years later I found out that that is only one form of "high intelligence," and that there are many other forms. I thought that was interesting. I sort of felt guilty about not wanting to attend but hey, I knew it wasn't my thang.

Uh oh . Big mistake . You said “OK great, now what?” to Irkle. You are about to be on the list of Those Who Have Been Mean to Irkle.

No worries. You are in good company with Katzpur. Mystic made the list also .

You were summoned by the mention of your name in a post.

No, no question. Are all threads required to be questions? Respond if you like or not if you like. Someone cited you as an example of Niceness Personified, in contrast to Awful Irkle, and I simply said I didn't know you and would accept the characterization pending further review.

It has nothing to do with being mean to Irkle. It has to do with posing as the embodiment of Christian niceness, agape love, yada yada, while demonstrating the contrary on a pretty consistent basis. Irkle just happens to be a lightning rod for these folks.

My God, it's true, it's true! You are in fact Niceness Personified! Awful Irkle has been moved to add to your already vast reputation.
