Intellectual Superiority? Come on down!

I've been chatting online. I don't just use one site to chat, since it is primarily an activity I do for fun and have only lately begun monetizing.

And since the local variety of compensation has been "variable" to say the least, it is not really so important to me anymore to redirect all of my chatting to Bubblews as it once was.

But I digress. I once again had my mental capacity called into question by someone who didn't approve of my particular taste in memes.

Of course, one might respond to such an attack with vitriol and defensiveness. Instead, I merely allowed the individual to flounder in their own ill feelings, and eventually get frustrated and leave.

I've said it before. If you are smarter than someone, it really doesn't matter what you say or do, or they say or do. That will not change. You won't benefit materially from calling someone stupid, nor will you improve them or their lives. Just let it go, or help them with insights.

Unfortunately, when the person who belives themselves to be mentally superior is not, the "insights" are often less valid than the initial expression
