Thank you Chet. I wouldn’t have known where to start. My rule of thumb about Brian’s posting is that if it has more than four lines, it’s not worth reading. But the responses are usually priceless.

@Chet

So there is my proof. You never have any idea what you are talking about and yet post 30 page posts about complete rubbish in an attempt to hide the fact that you are completely ignorant. I joke that other people are you or you are other people, but the sad fact remains, I do not think anyone has the energy to post such complete long-winded bullshit on a lark. You are you and only you. (at least we can thank god that there is only one of you.)

Hey, I’ve made 167 posts. They can’t all be completely devoid of falsity, especially with as aggressive as I am. I guess I fail to see any point… you can draw the same inferences about everyone that makes meaningful posts.

Um, Brian. Only you think your posts are meaningful. Aggressive as you are? Substitute stupid for aggressive and you are right on.

I’d say your post there was close to your average post’s quality. There’s only one way to go from there.

When people are openly arguing whether or not you are a real person, or just another reader role-playing really clueless person, that should tell you something. You constantly refer to your posts as “meaningful” when they are anything but. Turns out there is an explanation:

I quote from the abstract:

@APA study

People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it.

Don’t read too much into it… meaningful as opposed to “idle chatter”.

I’m not clueless or role-playing someone clueless.
