I think it's you who is missing my point actually. I can't speak for pyraxis as she may be coming at this from a totally diffferent angle, but my point was that if you view yourself as being so above someone, think of them as much less intelligent than you are and see them as emotionally or mentally unbalanced , is it really reasonable to keep baiting them, mocking them, provoking them and bullying them?
It's not a question of turning off your ABILITY. it's about choosing how you use that ability
Well, my sister was a commercial artist as was my father-in-law. PA is also extremely talented. The PR shows talent in spite of her Cerebral Palsy. I am not so gifted. I can draw stick figures and that's about it. I suspect that goes for more than one other member here. Does that mean that Meadow should stop posting about her superior artistic ability?
Actually Adam I was going to respond to your comment about my comment when I re-read your original post. It almost seems as the behaviours and qualities you are attributing to others are the ones that Meadow has:
being above someone (artistic talent, large house),
more intelligent (savant, genius), and seeing the membership as
emotionally or mentally unbalanced (calling members derogatory names, threatening the site).
I'm willing to allow that she has probably had a hard life (as we all have), has social weaknesses (as most of us do), may not communicate effectively (like a lot of members, myself included), etc. But most of us are willing to step back, take a deep breath and see how we can do things better. I'm not sure Meadow has that ability.
