I think intellectual nerds do all right in the love department.

And to abuse you. In other words, it's nonsense. Bottom line, I described extremely bad writing as evidence of not reading; in no way, shape or form can a reasonable and unbiased person interpret that to mean that an occasional spelling error is tantamount to an inability to read. If you choose to interpret that in such a patently nonsensical manner, it's a reflection on you, not me.

You claim that my words don't reflect what I am thinking, and that you know what's really in my head. Moreover, you've taken a reasonable and innocuous criticism of poor writing skills, a statement that did not, even in the vaguest fashion, refer to any specific poster -- and proceeded to insinuate that it constitutes aggression, abuse and borderline criminal conduct. (Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but it's merely after your fashion.) And you have the gall to call me arrogant? Here is an idea for you: aggression, abuse and criminal acts are all against the rules of this forum. If you really believe that this is what I've done, report me to the moderators, call 911, sound all the alarms. My take on it, however, is that you are simply being malicious. And note -- that's giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming you have the mental capacity for posturing.
Now you are just being ridiculous (Redisca-less?) I just took the example you presented and hoped to shine the light of the absurd on it. I hoped that you would laugh and realize what was going on.

Since that is not to be I will instead offer my sincere apologies.

Despite being a really nice person, if they were just plain stupid, would it attract you?
Intelligence is a serious must for me in a relationship.. And I mean INTELLIGENT!!

Stupid people just seem to make me look at them like an annoying little insect I wish to squish!

Intelligence is attractive to me when it is coupled with wisdom and humor. A highly rare combination to locate to my great disappointment. I am not into the arts (exception being craftsmanship), I prefer learning how things and people are put together. As well as building/repairing stuff. Though I will have to give up on enriching uranium for peaceful purposes since the neighbors are threatening sanctions.

I know what you mean. My wife had to drag me ballet but now I actually like it. It really bugs me though that you can't have a basement in Houston because I'd really like to build a small cyclotron in it and smash particles together head-on. Maybe create a nano-black hole singularity. Maybe use it to sop up the Horizon oil spill? Nah, the neighbors probably would object.

I can not believe you actually admitted that. You probably should stay away from the mens club tonight.
