I am extremely intelligent however, I just don't tap into it at all. I can prove it to you, if you want me to. I'll start posting thoughtfully from now on and you'll notice the diffference, I think.
That would be epic if you really could... also if you could do it without resorting to insults and tantrums that would be even better.
I will believe it when I see it, but if you could... great.
I think you're intelligent, but I don't think you are extremely intelligent. I'm not extremely intelligent either. I mean, how intelligent is extremely intelligent? Leonardo Da Vinci was I think.
Sure, I can stop swearing. Is there anything else?

I respect you very, very much. To be honest, you're quite intimidating in fact.
Let me update that statement. I'm not extremely intelligent, Evie is right about that too. I'm just normal and hoping to get out of my superiority complex. No winks or anything.

Nothing wrong with swearing, it's the aggression and the insults. I love to swear. Swearing is fun and great for emphasis--and humor when executed well.
Anything else? Well if you really can post more thoughtfully and intelligently, then by all means do so.
Other than that, nothing else comes to mind right now. Less insults and aggression, less temper tantrums, less assholeishness, more thoughtfulness, more intelligence, no cutting down on swearing necessary. That's all good if genuinely executed well. If you really can do that, do it.

I don't even know what got into me. How could I be so rude to everyone and thinking so much of myself when it's pretty clear that not even a soul agrees with me. You can't be right when everyone's telling you you're wrong, right?
... I'm such a dumbass. Really. I should just leave in disgrace and never come back again.

If you're really being genuine here and now, if you really are... I'm impressed and agree with you EP.
(Although I only find Jor 'intimidating' in a good way... I dunno what you meant by it. I think she's highly intelligent and I have a great deal of admiration for her. I like Jor a lot. Part of me looks up to her posts with admiration quite a lot. And she seems like a very honest and respectful person).

Thanks so much, Evie. Your feedback is what keeps me going right now, it really is. I am so grateful that you found it in you to keep talking to me even after all I said to you and how I acted.

Agree with everything but the bolded part. And I'm neutral in regards to the underlined part.
And I know that you know that the bolded part is untrue. Despite the fact I don't think you're 'extremely intelligent' you're far from a dumbass and too intelligent to not be aware that of course it is possible to be right when everyone is telling you that you are wrong, and you are not a dumbass, and you know you're not.
As for the underlined part... only leave if you want to... people may or may not be mostly better off without you but even if they're better off without you, it's your choice to stay or go and it may be better for you if you stay (then again the tantrums you are having here might suggest it's better for you if you leave, but it's still your choice). I don't dislike everything you post, just a lot of what you post... but that's just my opinion and, again, it's entirely up to you if you go or stay.
A break might do you some good though, but, again, it's up to you.

If people can find it in their hearts to forgive me, I'll try and stay. But if I ever say anything mean again, I'll leave as soon as I realize it.
