Would you like to address the fact that you attempted to "School me" in post #202 by stating a fact that I had already posted in #189?

I don't blame you for trying to deflect.

If I had done something that dumb I would be embarrassed too.

Did your elementary school principal say that you were dumber than he gave you credit for?

In school I was always considered extremely bright but not working up to my potential.

In High School I scored in the top 5 out of a class of 420 in the Senior Placement test which was an aptitude test, and the college entrance exam for Florida back in those days. But my GPA put me at 112th.

I consider myself a lot smarter than most of you here.

The only posters that I feel are anywhere near me in intelligence are Rajoo, Potter, and Blue Streak. I realize that this statement will serve to cement my status as "Persona Non Grata" but what the Hell do I care?

Intelligence is one thing. Personality disorder is another.

So I fear it cancels any intelligence advantage.

Trust me, I know how this can happen.
