Everyone Here is a Genius

[ClaesGefvenberg]

What is fun is to make fun of someone who has the arrogance to say it isn't his fault for not knowing but the website's fault for not being simple enough because he has a high IQ.

Agreed. I just thought it felt a bit like shooting a sitting duck, that's all.

hmm.. it's definitely something to say that someone has difficulty navigating the LitNet...

and, it's obvious we are geniuses, with or without saying...

(isn't this a little mean? typically i get by without the conscience but this time it struck a nerve..)

Oh its not fun to make fun of people who cannot navigate a website, that is normal.

Exactly Id have left it be if he hadnt said he was intelligent. he could have said
Dear Admin,
I have had several issues with the navigation and layout ( architetucre) -- or if he wanted to be snooty he could have gone for Taxonomy-- of your site, that I do not not usually find when navigating web sites. Then he could have put in a direct example. then he could have said Perhaps you might review the accesibiity and the layout of your site.

Thankyou
Anon

I'm new here too! Just joined a couple of days ago and I don't have any trouble navigating the forum. Does that mean I'm a genius?

Sorry, can't help it ...

[B-Mental]

Yes, ejarg7 welcome to the not recognised by MENSA official Litnet-genius forums.

I don't really have any problem navigating this site. I coudn't figure out how to quote without using the entire post, and I think you should be able to back to the home page without retyping the address, but it isn't rocket science. He made it sound like both a newsflash and an insult for us (or me, I don't know about the rest of you) to be genii.
As a matter of curiousity, what is the average I.Q., and how do psychologists figure out intelligence using division (intelligence QUOTIENT).

? no need to re-type in the address bar..the forum index (main) page can be reached from any forum page by clicking the link "Literature Network Forums" that is in the top left corner of every page.

I think it is fair to note that I think this Anton person wrote the email while frustrated and angry. I thought it was somewhat amusing, but I also find it somewhat amusing (and sometimes depressing) when I say and do foolish things under the influence of temper.

I must compliment you Kathy. We barbarians were picking on poor Anton, but you do seem to always have an understanding for people and a compassionate heart.

[seasong]

I echo Virgil Kathy, I'm afraid my first instinct was to mock as well.

[kathycf]

Oh, don't get me wrong, I thought Anton was being pretty silly and I said so on the previous page. It was just that I act pretty silly when I get frustrated or angry so I empathized with Anton. I bet he feels really dumb now for sending such a snotty email...or at least I would in his position.


But I graciously accept your compliment, Virgil. Thanks.


*edit* and it is really hard for me to accept compliments graciously, like many people I don't always know to just say "Thank you" and move on...see, just like now!

[grace86]

Kathy you're so cute! I know, I usually don't insult people either (I give myself guilt trips), but his remark about his IQ kind of got to me....guess it was my attempt at humbling someone who isn't there to care to be humbled...rather foolish of me...but I think most of us do silly things like Anton when we are frustrated.

I know my dad cannot function the internet very well and he's a Ph.D, so that kind of thing doesn't really matter....I think it is the technological differences in generations.

I'm just ranting....

[kiz_paws]

Maybe Anton was just overwhelmed with all the cool choices in this site and he was in over his head? I am a new poster but I am really enjoying this site. I just wished that I had more time to read posts and get to know people and all that jazz!

hello what you want to do Dante is just erase what you dont want...
by highlighting although I will agree that can be a major pain if you are dealing with the REALLLLY long posts in the Religious texts forum.
or you can highlight copy and paste from what you see and then tag itwith [quote][ / quote] obviously without the spaces in the second bracket.

[kilted exile]

Well it's about time other people recognised me for the genius that I am.
