I have always considered myself a Bright, by that I mean the Brights movement, in which Richard Dawkins is a proponent:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brights_movement

Being a Bright can be exhausting as being more intelligent adds the burden of responsibility of other beings, however, I completely abandon that out of pure egoism and the wish for the less Bright to not aquire any economical, social or political advantages. Hence I only take responsibility of Lesser Brights, who are still bright but just not truly brights yet but are student to become truly bright.

Reflecting, as I do, I have found that I am a true Übermench and has had to give myself the right and goal to lessen the influence of people who are not brights, to aid humanity, as it is doomed if all those unfortunate but acceptable losses of non brights are not made.

Now what led me to write this?
It is my neighbour, whom is quite large, he is a proponent of barbecuing. Barbecuing is one of the most ancient social gatherings, since we Brights invented the fire and probably hunting as well, this is a classic case of a Bright idea being taken over by non Brights and filthied. My neighbour had a barbecue the other day and he invited the neighbourhood. Arriving I would not know if it would be a Bright gathering or not, but I came, feeling I had an open mind. When I stepped on his lawn I was grabbed, it was a short grown and unpleasant woman who took my jacket and asked if it was truly free food to be found. This woman was not a Bright, and badlyl bred, so I told her I lived here and that she should get off my lawn or I'd call the cops. Offended and incorrectly so she left, seemingly quite upset, but I had done the right thing and wrote so in my Diary (of a Bright), a future best selling aid to the countless of Biographies that will be made of me after I have passed. Anyway, I quickly left this barbecue, as it was a blasphemy to its origins. But I had an idea, feeling it was a magical chance to restore barbecuing to its former assumed glory, I was to hold a Brights Only barbecue. I advertised it in the local newspaper for next week, and I am here posting to see if there are any other brights who wish to come.

There will not be free meat. (edit: attendance will be over skype)

If this is your way of casting away the norms of society in hopes of achieving a utilitarian ideal world based on a superiority complex, I wish you the best of luck.

If this is you being young and trying to find a way to identify with a group while also looking to add helium to your self-esteem, then I suggest you try more traditional paths.

Best of luck, showing interest in being a part of groups is totally normal.

Do you actually think anyone thinks this way?

Or that it's a troll post to respond condescendingly?

What is the purpose of your post? Serious question.

Do you edit things you write? Do people ask you to write things then become upset at you? Do you think the guy wanted to write it or he just had to keep going? Or do you think it was under duress?

How did you find the word Bright? Or come across this?

I mean let's look at this seriously.

"Based on a superiority complex."
"Trying to find a way to identify with a group."
"Add helium to your self-esteem."
"showing interest in being a part of groups is totally normal." (Suggesting he's not normal.)

What are you doing besides inferring things about someone that aren't even there?

Everyone tries to identify with a group.

Metaphorical language is normal' some people just write fancy. Also see section about superiority complex.

Showing interest and finding people with similar interests is normal. Calling something normal does not necessarily suggest he is not normal. Although his post does raise that question.

Oh they are there

Edit: yes it's obviously satire but BisuEver is taking Torte de Lini's already too serious response too seriously. (what?)
