Caffeine comes in all sorts of lovely, snuggly manifestations, such as espresso, tea, coffee, cappuccino and frappuccino. All of which = yumminess (albeit, wide-awake, eye-bleeding yumminess). Cocaine, on the other hand... hasn't one redeeming quality, I hear. They tell me it makes your nose bleed rather continuously, you know?

I dare to disagree; all of their stories are worth hearing. I sincerely doubt that I would enjoy every whiny, dirt-ridden tale but I must suppose that I would learn something from all of them. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to listen to their infinity and only immortality could compel me to do so.
Hmmm...Don't you think most of them would like to tell the truth; that they would appreciate someone calling it out of them? And even if it were manipulation, why evil? It must depend on the intentions of the one extracting the truth.
Alright, I suppose I must properly explain how their unresponsiveness is a crime, while other unresponsiveness could very well not be. I am assuming that my posts are worth more than just a random minute of their time. I am placing what I have to say near the top of what I believe their priority list should be. Yes, terribly conceited of me. This saves you from damnation in the case of your unresponsiveness; for, I trust that you only neglected to respond when the person who wished for a response was not worthy of your attention. So there.

Yes, you are right that in this particular situation I had absolutely no reason to feel imbecilic. But that does not mean that intelligent people never have a reason to feel idiotic. For, the most ridiculously intellectually gifted person on the planet can make a simple mistake and feel stupid. Of course, that would only apply if the intelligent person knew that they should have not made the mistake for a number of obvious reasons. I simply did not know something that I had no reason to know and my feeling of failure was actually not acute enough to keep me from laughing at myself. Laughing because I cared at all whether I knew what intertubes meant in that particular context.
I suppose I was projecting again. I often feel obligated to talk to people even when I don't want to. This is terribly silly, of course. Everyone is worth talking to if you are capable of tricking them into speaking truthfully and fantastically. People sometimes need help locating their stories but they all have one.
But I like talking to you, of course. The other people that I friended didn't respond to my funny guestbook entries. Unresponsiveness is the worst crime.

How does one tell if another is intelligent? I often wish for a simple answer to this question.
Cannot any person feel like an imbecile, regardless of how clever they are? I believe I am fairly intelligent - a vice, no doubt - but I do not think this keeps me from feeling idiotic from time to time.
I also believe I am being somewhat annoying. You are not obligated to respond to this post. (This is not a trick. You know how some people tell other people, 'Well, you can just never talk to me again and I won't mind.' But really they mean, 'You'd better want to talk to me or I will make you damn sorry.' I promise that my above statement is completely transparent and means only what it appears to mean.)

I suppose I exaggerated for effect. I am not quite so malicious that I would belittle the innocent and ignorant.
But also, on that same note, whether or not you were trying to make me feel stupid - I believe you when you say you weren't - I still feel like an imbecile. Which is by no means your fault. Something important to remember.

Intertubes? I have a frightening feeling that what you are saying is terribly obvious and I am now being humiliated by asking you to explain. If you were me you would be doing it purposefully, just to make me feel ignorant. But projecting is rarely helpful and so I will only assume that you assumed I would know what you were talking about.
So explain what you mean by 'intertubes mixing it up'. I will close my eyes and wait to feel like an idiot. It is inevitable.
