- I rather like the discussion, actually. It doesn't matter a r.r.a
- to me whether atheists, christians, or astigmatic bisexual pygmies
- score better on IQ tests than I do. What I'm offended by is
- someone who blazes into our newsgroup making a rash of potentially
- true statements, but then shows less regard for the scientific
- method than does a high school sophomore dissecting his first
- frog.
-
- Not to mention that you're the second self proclaimed holder of a
- high IQ who offended posters at a record pace, while generating
- endless replies and degrading the SNR to near unity. I wonder: Is
- high IQ correlated with poor socialization skills?
-
- Please don't change the topic on my account. I'll be killing it
- soon anyway unless you can, as repeatedly requested by Steve, back
- up some of your claims with impartial empiricism.
