[quote=TexasReb;6938302][quote=ainulinale;6938140]Well considering I'm a Physics major with an IQ that is 4 standard deviations above the average, perhaps it should.

A physics major? A real live one? With an IQ FOUR standard deviations above the average? Not just three, but FOUR? Lord a mercy!

*yawns* So tell me which part says "Southerners need not apply?" Maybe I missed something. But then again, I don't have an IQ which (drum roll, please) is a -- by gawd -- four standard deviations above the average.

SNORT. "Four standard deviations above the average." As I've learned to say in the South, "Well, shut my mouth."

Right. This isn't a personal attack: "It's meant to be self dignifying on your part, but it's really nothing more than giving yourself license to say whatever crosses your mind regardless of how it will affect others--in short an utterly self-centered view of the universe."

Perhaps you should look up the word "eager" in the dictionary (or look through my posts) because this post makes my 1,437th, and that is the first I've mentioned it. BTW, I assume you're simply jealous since 4 standard deviations is higher than 99.99% of those alive...this probably makes you a rhesus monkey.

Very clever. Taking my words out of context. Talk about irrational. You made a personal attack, I responded, simple as that.

I can see that, you don't need to tell me.

LOL...No, no. That's just definition of character. One can say that about anybody who loves to talk about their bluntness in that way.

And just because you've waited 1,437 posts, doesn't mean you haven't been spoiling to reveal it, Mr. Fourth Deviation. I'm surprised the GPA wasn't thrown in, too. Hahahahaah.

Man, are you sure you shouldn't be making it over into the Relationships forum? All you have to do is stroll in there and brag about your Fourth Deviation Intelligence, and the girls will be swooning over you and your slide rule.

LOL. I call that presumptuous libel.

Heck, it's not libel if it's the truth.

Hence the reason it's libel.

LOL...Well, given that my post is subjective and based on my opinion and interpretation of said behavior, and not on established, objective fact, then it cannot be a contradiction of established truth. For libel has to be false, and my believe in motivation is probably quite accurate.

Boasting vs. Defending

I really trust that you can see the difference.

If you're really needing to bring up the Fourth Deviation, then you're just not very skilled at defending yourself.

Thanks for playing. Dinner reservations await.
