Am addicted to this blog, as well. Sometimes “Lord of the Flies” environment materializes in many threads, like this one, with several bodies pouncing on the one person who exhibits a degree of being different. Crab mentality, like putting down, condescending on, and stepping on someone and his/her ideas, in order to gain superiority points with others who get easily swayed, those baited and swayed again add higher into the pile. All these are added bonuses to this site. It gets hot and spicy a lot. To top it all, the Sophisticates around here (excuse me, I’m not) will discern those with higher intellect and will judge accordingly. There is a message in an Ayn Rand book I read long ago. In essence, it says, those with higher intellect don’t require too much explanation. They have rapid comprehension and processing speeds. One post in another thread shared a link that said basically the same thing about the Sophisticates (with extreme intellect). There are a lot lurking in this blog. To me, Rich Toscano and Powayseller–who are not lurkers–carry the big stick in sophistication, and I am unabashedly, a big fan. I hope PS doesn’t tire of her critics until I stop being addicted.
