Unfortunately Ack, people don't really like that kind of person. It doesn't really matter what behavior they have. Alot of people think that I'm always out to win and that is why I'm so competitive. Generally people like me who just MUST be the best at everything they do aren't out to win, they're out not to lose. When I play starcraft, magic, snowboard, music anything like that...when I CAN'T do something I will be far harder on myself than most people. When I can't beat somebody at starcraft, not even once, I will pay for days on end without food or sleep just to be able to do it.
Same applies for songs I can't play. Tricks I can't do on a snowboard. Winning games of magic. It has nothing to do with winning, it has everything to do with complete desire to be the best at everything I wish to do.
If I could change that quality I might..it gets me in a lot of trouble with new friends. My friends I've had for awhile don't mind it anymore, they know that is just the way I am. I'm not very vocal about my competitiveness either. I just do it, talking smack will get me no where.
I dunno..I'm an odd one.
EDIT: I guess I kind of present it as about winning or doing things, but try to take it from another perspective. I can't NOT do it and I will die before I let it conquer me.

It's already hard enough to judge people's intellect irl, even if you have them take a written test, so how do you want to judge people's intellect over a damn internet forum??? In France we have those entry exams where you have to take 10 * 4 hours written tests (mostly maths and physics), plus 10 oral examinations, and even then the ranking of the 10 000 people applying is always controversial and luck plays an important role.
From the posters I know irl, Catyoul is prolly the smartest. 
On the wise scale, I would put mensrea way above, then Psylo and some others.

You have no clue if people that post here care about intelligent input. I for one, don't. :p It's easy to spot the retarded, but it's hard to spot intelligent chaps. Any person that's not retarded can make a nice lengthy post with some fancy words in it, that doesn't make him intelligent perse. Or anyone can have good debating skills, yet not be that intelligent. Poo topic to me 
Agreed ^^

You should try competitiveness in humility.
Seriously I don't know wether you are intelligent, very intelligent or not. But from what I have seen on these boards, you should seriously try to think a bit less about being marginal. Though I may be completely wrong.

this website cant have a smart poster without that person also being a psycho.
the only smart person who wasnt emotionally challenged, was Mensrea.

I do believe you are quite wrong. I'm not that prideful of my wins, it is just within my nature to be the best at everything I do. It is hard to explain. You're going to have to trust me on this one.
And I don't try to be marginal...I just happen to be an odd one. I've accepted that. No point in trying to treat it differently.

seems that most people in here confuse intelligence with ability to express thoughts, which is why several "unelegant" (i dont really wanna go into calling these people retards and get flamed) who know how to write were named in this thread
i only have a mildly accurate impression of a few people who post a lot in here and of those i would pick Nazgul given his objetivity and ability to remain calm when everyone else is flaming and posting bullshit, he seems to know how to act properly on most situations, but as i said i only know very little about very few people in here

This is my impression from what I have read. When they say something, rarely is there a disagreement from the community. So conforming to the majority opinion of the community is a pre-requisite for being considered smart?
I expected something like this
It's not really about conforming to opinion of the community as much as that they make arguments against which little can be said. I think we are on different wavelengths here ... that's not the defining quality of a smart poster but it's a part of it

Yeah I know what you're talking about. The thing is I think you're more of like two of my friends I know irl together.
Well there's the first guy I was telling you about who's a complete arrogant bastard and doesn't waste time showing you he's better than you in soccer/magic/games he tries to play. But then another friend of mine also has the quality of where he can't handle people being better than him. Personally the difference I see between these two friends is that the 2nd one is mannered and eventually accepts that there will always be people better than him while the first just blames it on cheating or the environment.
Anyway, If I met you irl and you were like you are on the forums I'm sure I'd get along great with you. I just think that if someone is going to be like you [ get-go ] then they should really know their own limit otherwise they won't get along with very many people and is their downfall as well as being a positive quality.

For somebody who is not prideful of your accomplishments, you sure like to talk about how smart and better than everybody else you are.
