Hmm... It is difficult to determine what your mood is in typing your post. I will simply go by my own judgement. I am my own person, not beholden to any vices, except those mentioned in joking around... Also, I do not conform to what others expect of me, rather I would manipulate a situation so that it is favorable in my direction, without bending the rules. If you are judging me according to my posts, you should realize that you receive an extremely limited view of myself or my thoughts through my posts, and only what I prefer to post at that. You do not know what situational influences are present when I type, or if I decide that these forums are not to be taken entirely seriously. Not to be offensive in that respect, but these forums don't exactly harbor 'intellects.' I am certainly not one, and I am not saying anyone is or isn't. But what is essential in considering what information is posted, whether opinions, humor, or information, is that it comes from individual people, and that there is no level at which someone becomes an 'intellect,' since, personally, I don't consider people to be an intellectual or not, since I believe true knowledge comes from experience, not reading a book- although that would in a sense be complimentary. I hope you do not read into my post, I am merely stating this so that you do not fall into the pattern of thinking that my posts can be a basis for judging me. I hope there is no misunderstanding, and if there are any questions regarding this issue, please ask. And I look forward to hearing from your response.
