More than a frog? You're so kind.

 

IQ means nothing anyway, according to my IQ I'm a genius, I don't refute that, but you can actually practice and get good at IQ tests if you wanted to, that shows how they don't truly represent intelligence

I try :D

and you're right about IQ tests. I had an IQ of somewhere in the hundred-teens when I was seven... and I wasn't actually terribly smart, just observant. However, there are no really truly accurate ways of measuring intelligence because you can't actually define it properly. Intelligence has dozens of aspects to it that are almost impossible to gague. :/

 

but you're a smart person. just not necessarily the nicest.

Exactly, I have friends who have no common sense at all, but are amazing at just sitting down and studying, technically they are intelligent, but I don't think so

 

I'm not nice on here, but only to people who are, for lack of a better term, "morons" if you do nothing silly I wont say anything negative to you, I'm not like this in real life, it's just how I spend my time on this forum

I wonder how many people act completely differently on this forum. John is one person that believe it or not is more annoying and stalkerish in real life.

 

 

Don't try to deny it John, we all know.

Nobody is the same on forums.

you mean this forum is like your stress releiver?

 

I started swimming competitively as a stress reliever... sports are good for that, especially individual ones, if your stress is caused by other people.

 

and if that's not what you meant, I probably just made an idiot of myself. but I've done that before, so it's ok.

 

edit: That's also true, no one is the same on forums, no matter how hard they try. Anonymity does that.

Well kind of, but not really, I laugh a lot at the way I go on on here, sometimes it'll be me taking it out on here, those are usually my more hateful and sweary posts, most of the time it's just people being idiots on here.

yeah bull shit nick.

^see most of your posts are grounded on some sort of reasonable/semi-reasonable basis, as opposed to the one above me. probably why you aren't banned.

Nobody is the same on forums.

actually John is the same. All his jokes and things he says on here...exactly how he is in real life.

 

Not an insult John, but you have to admit you don't bother much with acting different.

I agree. the yeah bull shit nick post was very insightful.

of course it was.

I agree with the original point of the thread, but that said there are a couple of posts that have caught my eye...

Then I think you need to find real-life ways of dealing with your obvious angst. Taking it out on others on the internet is just a way of ducking what really gets your goat, which is something you need to deal with in your day to day life. You'll need to face it eventually, otherwise it'll just continue. Do yourself a favour and address it sooner rather than later.

Absolute nonsense. Sure, many people hide behind 'personas' on the net and put on all kinds of shows, but I've met ten or so people from here in the flesh and they were all EXACTLY as I expected from their posts.

No offence, but you really have no idea what I am get annoyed at, so telling me to "go and solve it" is not helpful in any way shape or form.

I've read plenty of your posts, and I wasn't so much talking about your problem here, I was talking in general about your attitude and it's pretty obvious to anyone who's studied psychology that anyone who behaves differently on the internet to the way they do in real life in fact have an inbalance of behaviour in that real life.

 

Don't want to talk about that right now? Fine, I was just trying to do you a favour.

 

So then, how about you fill me in on what's getting you so annoyed this time (I presume it's not the point of the original post on the thread, because that I've already agreed with)?

^Peter, psychoanalyzing him is probably not a good idea...

 

just saying before this gets anywhere..... >->

^ Ah I love psychology my friend, it's fascinating to me :)

Forums, not the internet.

 

Don't act like I'm being a dick here, "I was just trying to do you a favour", like I said, it was a stupid thing of you to say. As much as you think you were trying to help in reality, that is not going to solve anything

 

This time? I'm not even annoyed now, or I wasn't until you started doing this.

This is bullshit. It's completely true that pretty much everyone behaves differently on the internet from how they do in real life.

I was just trying to do you a favour. I like you, and I like a lot of your posts. I just don't get why you won't let people help you.

 

Could you please explain what the problem is here exactly?

 

This is bullshit. It's completely true that people behave differently on the internet from how they do in real life.

 

Yes, I mis-wrote that part of my post, I've edited it now :)

How is attacking random people on the internet gonna help?

I explained, most of the time that is not why I post at all.

 

Tonsu: I don't believe I need to be helped. Any annoyances I have are at things that can't be solved.

Oh and in addition to me editing my post because I didn't say what I meant to say, this is nonsense too. I've met over ten people from this forum and each and every one has been exactly as they seemed from their posts here.

 

I won't repeat this for a third time.

Well you are quite aggressive on here and you are often rude for no apparent reason.

 

You might have problems in real life but why take it out on other people?

I just don't think that one can judge how a person behaves in real life from looking at their thoughts expressed in text. Real life is so...different.
