Well, your 'intelligence rating' has certainly dropped with this thread, Lars.

I know some ppl are hurting cos they were not nominated. Just read the posts and you'll see that almost all the negatives have been by ppl who have not gotten a vote.

Lot of sore egos out there. Get a cure.

Well, if my thread is stupid there sure are a lot of stupids at Apolyton cos the thread sunk in a short time. Why don't you just close your eyes and pretend it's a stupidity contest. BTW I have taken an IQ-test and I'm above avarage. How about you?

Seems that many Americans (and Canadians?) don't like it for some reason while other ppl from for ex. Europe (where ppl are a little more read-up and up to par than Americans) like it.

Americans seem to prefer "name that song uh-oh" and other silly weird stuff.. The A-team and cartoons and what not. I guess this is their intellectual stimulus.

Sadly, your poll lacked DinoDoc, DanS, and Dr. Stranglove so I was forced to vote for MtG

Dr Strangelove was on a paper list I had. Anyways as I wrote before I would spend months just writing down all the names. Do you know how many members Apolyton has? Thousands. And the polls in here don't allow for more than 16.

Did you not see the other category??

LOLOLOL

This proves Asher's point, btw .

[Lars-E]

How so?

What about actually coming up with reasons? Or don't you Amercaninos need to for some reason?

[Goingonit]

Wow! I'm on a "most intelligent poster" poll! I have the acclaim of my fellow Apolytoners! It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

At least nobody voted for me.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'm sorry, but that post I quoted is perhaps the most ignorant passage I've ever read here on Apolyton. At least with EvC, I think he's joking. You, I fear, were serious.

It seems that you are just sore that people don't like your poll. A poll on who is the smartest on this site is foolishness, and any one could have told you that.

(Oh, and btw, you actually have a lot of Americans on your little 'poll' )

[Asher]

No, Lars, the problem is you don't know most of the people on the site. There's glaring omissions from your list, and there's no real criteria established other than general intelligence. And even then, I have to wonder how you rated some of the people based on intelligence. Some people on your list there are certainly very knowledgeable, but I wouldn't label them as being in the upper echelon of intelligent Apolytoner's.

Are you trying to measure knowledge, crystallized intelligence, or fluid intelligence?
Further, some people are intelligent analytically, some are intelligent creatively, and some practically. Do you distinguish between those? How about savants?

This is a glorified popularity contest, or at the very best a test to see how "well-read" posters are.

BTW I have taken an IQ-test and I'm above avarage. How about you?

Isn't it amazing how everyone takes the IQ test and is above average?
Yes, I've taken an IQ-test (WAIS-III).
And no, I'm not going to tell you what I got, because people always (or most of the time) bull**** what their results were anyway, if they took them at all. I also disagree with how the modern Wechsler tests are run anyway.

Because as much as you go on and on about intellgence and knowing "facts", you seem to be lacking in understanding irony. I've tried before to explain such things to others who have lacked this sense many times, but have come to realize that their mentality is not suited for it, or are so stubborn, that they can't come to change their mind about an embarassing mistake they previously made.

[KrazyHorse]

This is shaping up to be one of the funnier threads so far.

Well when sore ppl like Asher mucks out crap he should expect it to hit the fan. I was making a point.

And no reasons are given by you again.

Nah I think this is one of the best threads ever and it's really popular.

And no reason is given again.

(Oh, and btw, you actually have a lot of Americans on your little 'poll' )

So? There are many Americans in here and naturally a great portion of them will be selected to give them a fair representation.

Any more idiotic nonsense please keep it to yourself so ppl can actuall post on topic.

Check out the thread you just made, and look how appropriate your comment is when it's applied to you.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Hey, Lars... maybe you should have made a 'Stupidest Apolytoner' thread... you'd win hand-over-fist .

The reasons are clear to anyone 'intelligent'. And I'd like you to answer Asher's point about how you interpreted intelligence. Some of your choices made me go

Since you're the one who wrote this, I can't tell if this is serious or not.

Correct. It might have been better that for instance PH or another oldtimer started the thread, but they didn't so deal with what you've been served and make the best outta it.

Omissions? How many would fit into 'Other'?

Do you know the meaning of the word intellectual?

Are you trying to measure knowledge, crystallized intelligence, or fluid intelligence?
Further, some people are intelligent analytically, some are intelligent creatively, and some practically. Do you distinguish between those? How about savants?

Sexual intelligence. J/k. Why did you skip my first post which sets all the ground rules?

Idiot savants?

This is a glorified popularity contest, or at the very best a test to see how "well-read" posters are.

American show style. So what? It's fun. Agree with Krazyhorse-cat-avatar.

...that they can't come to change their mind about an
embarassing mistake they previously made.

What mistakes are you talking about?

I have to hit fleabed. It's 4 AM. Go to bed already!

Keep on voting and trolling.

And feel free to vote for Asher in the 'Other, please rectify' section. Snicker.
