160. No, that's not completely accurate...
"Ya know what? Too goddamn bad if less-than-gifted folks, intellectually speaking, think it's elitist, and manifest their envy or disdain with such accusations. The mediocrities pretty much own the world; we can have our own little DU group corner..."

Nah, there are plenty of gifted people here who think it's a bad idea too. It leads to things like labeling other DUers as "mediocrities", "norms", and "mundanes".

"...we can have our own little DU group corner of it where we're not bound to be sensitive to their obscured vision and slower, less complex thought processes."

Oh boy. Now you've done it - you have issued a challenge. Big mistake! Now what are you going to do when "mediocrities" stop by to learn from all of your "complex thought processes" and all they see are posts by other GTs (posing as "mediocrities"), and just plain old "mediocrities", that run circles around you? Good luck. You're going to need it.

"Too goddamn bad if less-than-gifted folks, intellectually speaking, think it's elitist, and manifest their envy or disdain..."

No, not envy. Think the opposite. Good lord man... show some self-respect. Whoever fed you all this nonsense really did a number on you.

One more comment for the benefit of all the "mediocrities" who might wander into this thread... Well-adjusted, confident, successful GTs will seldom self-identify. They don't need to.
