    Okay, but I think we should all take the time to recognize that Raging Stallion is, in fact, well read.

    Oh, well sure okay- go ahead and report it lol. If the GMs determine they're intentionally trying to harm the conversation, that'd be different than a bunch of people being annoyed with a poster / their posted contents and being like "annnnddd delete, mob rule hype!".

    To be fair though, you said 'we can kick for playstyle difference. . . So why not difference in post style?' which is ran by the general audience so I hope you at least give me some credit that it wasn't a malevolent manipulation of what you said .

    Or he majored in literature and philosophy. And perhaps reads Time magazine.

    The currently prevailing theory is of one general intelligence, there isn't a great deal of evidence to support the idea of multiple types of intelligence.

    It's a shame really, given that I'm not particularly special in the brains department, I know which one I'd prefer to be true.

    There's book smarts and then there's street smarts. Rarely do the two coincide, but both have their advantages and disadvantages.

    If he majored in lit and philosophy... That would indeed mean being pretty well read. We're unlocking a whole element of backstory here.

    All I'm sayin' is this is a troll post but somewhere in there is a point about the story's writing worth actually discussing. XD
