People think using obscure vocabulary and a condescending tone is a sign of gifted intelligence
But it really isn't..

The gift is being able to level with someone and explain in their terms, not yours, so they can understand in full context.

That is gifted intelligence..

so you want people to throttle back their everyday language to cater to the least common denominator so we get along with those that never attended school?

Nope. I already throttle back my vocabulary in order to not sound condescending to low IQ rednecks. Those with higher IQ appreciate my level of sophisticated vernacular.

Re: People think using obscure vocabulary and a condescending tone is a sign of gifted intelligence
A person trying to say something using just the right words is in fact a mark of respect, sometimes an attempt to calm their nerves in a tense situation. Others, here especially, want a conversation to reflect dominance, so they short-circuit it using any number of attacks like yours. If things get aggressive, you're on home turf. You're a violent thug from a violent, thuggish culture after all. Was that too complicated for you?

No it's not. What you describe is dumbing it down. Never do that. What are you, a Leftist? Make the inferior mind stretch and climb up, if they can.

so you think rednecks are low IQ? You should get out more. I know several, and several would give you some schooling. Do you think the majority of GLP members are unedjucated?

And the way you just put it means that being a diplomat is being a pussy. That's why none of you want to do it, and also why none of you are privately diplomatic in the least.

It's even worse when people google scientific terms and pretend they are a molecular biologist or something like that, but they mess up all the terminology and talking points they googled.

 Quoting: WeAreNotTheFirst


This has been a decade-long bullying session where the expectation is that I fold on all fronts for the sake of people who can only care about me in the context of their political goals. They would just as easily leave me to die and have before. At the beginning of this, thinking was a cause for laughter: "you can't reason your way out of what you didn't reason your way into," one of you said. In other words, force and fraud, force and fraud, force and fraud. I am supposed to consider my words when no one else has to? It isn't my world, it's yours. And you've done EVIL things to get to this position and indicated very clearly that you were willing to do them to me again. My 'best interests' were thirty years ago, and you've wasted a decade of my time because where a power imbalance exists you never see any reason to negotiate or keep your word if you do.

How long until one of the people who just wants to use force, that guy with the vein bulging out in his forehead about timetables and attrition back there--yeah, that fucker over there--how long until you try him? He was the face you went with, and that's the face you're stuck with. Negotiations broke down because you wanted to call the shots and I stopped caring decades ago. You're assholes. And cruel beyond belief. This savior project requires so much lying to make you and yours even remotely acceptable. Yet I'm a psycho for having a conscience--the same conscience you put me into an institution to beat into me. Because in the end it wasn't about being honest, but about you once again NEEDING to throw your weight around. Go to Hell.
