Beware the man who tells you that he has a 'certified high IQ' without saying a number.
heehee :) and i thought I was rude :) but compared to the way you guys have bashed poor Anton, I'm almost a lamb :)
well, if Anton thinks lit net is the most user-unfriendly forum he's ever seen, he can't have seen many forums.
I've seen much worse,.. can you imagine that this kind of thing is actually called a "forum"? (click where it says "Forum besuchen" and choose one of the categories to see what I mean
it's just a random example of a badly structured "forum", i don't mean to detract from it in any way in terms of its content)
I highly doubt the validity of him taking an IQ test at all.Quote:

judging from the formality of his English, his habit of complaining with "authorities" about the outrageous inadequacy of services provided and his general over-use of the word "therefor[e]", i'd have said he's German :)Quote:

You're human after all ^_^
Oh, and in my oppinion he is very silly indeed!
Well... I registered here in 2005 but for some reason I was unable to post messages. I logged in, it said "Hello Aiculik" but when I tried to post, a message "You have no right to post messages" appeared every time. So I sent 2 or 3 emails so admins, but they all returned to me as "unable to deliver". It was very frustrating... Made me feel like this: :brow: :flare: :crash: :bawling: - After few months, I gave it up. And I never wanted to hear about this site any more.
Then, few weeks ago, I was looking for some books available online, and I remembered this site. I tried to register (had to ask for a new password and this time my emails obviously came wherever it was necessary) and to post - and it worked. I still have no idea what was wrong. It can't have been in the password, because in that case I wouldn't be able to log in, either.
It is true however that according to the test, my IQ increased for 2% since 2005. So maybe back then it somehow knew that I'm missing 2% to be a real genius and prevented me to post. :lol:
Although it appears that he had spelt Therefore wrong by spelling it Therefor, the spelling is actually acceptable and appears in both forms in my 1918 library edition Stormonths dictionary.(sorry just thought i'd point that out.) also it is quite easy to misspell when typing. I do it all the time so i dont think its right slagging him over that.Quote:

I dont think they truely achieve a persons Intellegence. I dont like how a majority of the tests are matamatical in format. I'm not very good at maths so when i do iq tests i always get an average. For me most of my intellegence and knowledge is in History,Archaeology, geology, Literature, art,and Parapsychology, Which dont nesessarilly turn up in an iq test. I'm not scientific, matamatical and am alright with logic. I can find my way around the internet better than i can around a sum. This forums navagation is as easy as counting one two three.....
Does my babbling make any sense?
Aha. :) I just posted a thread stating everyone on here is an intellectual. You all really are!Quote:

Now here's a guy, who, not only wants to leave, but needs to convince the rest of us to go as well. To me, somehow, this makes me feel more comfortable being here.
I wonder if you have to be "certifiable", to have a "certified IQ".
nothing wrong with split infinitives :) sometimes they are even the only construction possible or they express something different than a non-split infinitiveQuote:

He can't use the website and he's blaming the site's owner for it?
Dude, check out the number of the registered users!

This is by far the funniest thread on the whole site. Laughed out loud several times. So everyone should be really grateful for Anton's e-mail. (For he's a jolly good fellow ...:lol: ).
I'm rather new here and had some problems at the beginning. Just asked in the "introduction" thread and - lo and behold! - some kind souls answered instantly.
A minute ago, I thought, "How can I rate this site and give it five stars?" :idea: Went to the little arrow next to the stars and actually voted!!! :thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up Yessss! I'm a genius! Thank you all for making me see that at last! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Edit: How come we laugh most about other people making a fool of themselves? Every comedy has it.
Ah i see. Oh well i dont really care. I find it rude when people point out spelling and grammer mistakes. For gods sake nobody is perfect.Quote:

Its just something i dont like.
I think it depends on the error made. Lots of people make spelling errors and/or typos so I ignore those. (I do it sometimes to, of course) Also, if someone is offering a poem or story for critique, I think it is approriate to correct spelling and grammar mistakes then.
I get a bit bothered when people make up definitions to words though. If we can't agree on a standardized meaning for a word, communication becomes somewhat ineffectual, no? :lol:
I could go either way on this issue. I posted in another forum (where they DEFINITELY have grammar police) that if someone correcting your spelling or grammar makes you cry, you should get a tougher skin. On the other hand, if you spend more than about 5 seconds thinking about a word someone misspelled on a internet board, you should look for more important things to do in life.
One word that DOES bother me consistently, though:
DEFINITELY (NOT definately)
' I need new glasses '
With Specsavers you will be able to read anything and you shall - apparently!!
'I find it rude when people point out spelling and grammer mistakes'
Oh dear and here was me thinking I was being discretely helpful.
Well... the forums navigate like any other forum, but the main site COULD be tricky. Poor guy. :< I guess I'm just currently not into making fun of anyone. :lol: I'm in my "nice" mode.
Dont worry ennison!:pQuote:
