Many of the people you listed are not idiots, nor do they beg mocking and derision.
Some of them do have a special way of looking at things, but like you said yourself, don't we all?
Really?
Richard - highly critical and second only to Pea for spoiling for fights when not posting pictures of his cock and semen deposits.
Nocturnalist - joined to kick my arse and show the forum how wrong and badly motivated I was on his forum and after much mud-slinging discovered he had misread the situation.
Randy - Critical of us for being weak and on the spectrum and using every posting opportunity to immerse us in putdowns and wanking icons
Ziyaret - Gay hating macho bigot with a nasty streak a mile wide
Illusionist - I could not really think of any redeeming characteristic to assign.
Bob - Manipulating, stalker with more nasty secret agendas than you can shake a stick at. A attention whore with a penchant to deceive lie and claim ignorance, stupidity, misrepresentation or any other number of things to hurt people.
This is how I read it. I call them idiots as a collective whole. I don't question their intelligence but I think idiots is a good a short-hand descriptor as I can think of off the top of my head. My feeling is that to express what they express and how they express it that they do beg derision and mocking and I am sure that is their motivation.
Perhaps you read it differently Callaway.
I think we are agreed in that we all have special ways of looking at things though. I think that is the reason we discuss things here on the same level and have the dynamic here that we have. We are all equally as special
Again this is my take.
Edit: Forgot Bob....how could I forget Bob LOL
