Recovering Jerk-A-Holic
I'll go re-read the original post, but I will also assure I am aware of my own Naivate. Intellegence and personal attitude are two very different things.DaveC posted on Jul 24 2006 at 05:42 PM said:nubie posted on Jul 25 2006 at 12:37 AM said:DaveC, what tipped you off to the trollness right off the bat?
I gave him/her/it a chance because I notice that much of the net and indeed real life is full of people who know no better how to express themselves.
I also would just like a chance before the forum is closed to mention that I am home-schooled and am not un-intelligent. I was in fact thrown out of first grade because I was too smart for my teacher. Both my parents have IQ on the high side and appreciation for learning, as a child I was much-absorbed by our set of encyclopedias and had read 1,000s of books by the time I was 15.
It is OBVIOUS just by the questions and the "prose" of the writing. I can smell a troll a mile away. I have been here long enough to know one too. Every once in a while some lamer comes across this site searching for GBA R0MZ or something. Then they crash land here to try to stirr us up. The sad thing is that it almost ALWAYS works. (remember the halo porter seeking donations, how about the askquestionsgetdumbanswers dude)
Your parent's high IQs must have cancelled each others out when they had you if you believe this poster is for real One of the books you must have missed was about ,chicanery, flummery and just plain BS detecting. That is fine you are still Ok though, don't want to start a flame war because of that dufus
I also usually learn by doing, but I need a good creative flamebait troll name to get some practice in the art.
I re-read it just now, it seems I let the bad grammar throw me off the scent. You must be much more adept at that forum speak than I, this is my first forum and It had mostly proper english on it when I joined.
Not to say I don't browse the internet, I had racked up 2,000 hours before I was 20, on a 486 no less!
It is just that a forum never interested me.
