He is a master of selectively quoting people, and then responding only to what's quoted to steer the conversation in his preferred direction. If you stated that the Earth is round in a debate with him, he would snip out just enough to make it look like you were an idiot, and then make a reply that, at least superficially, makes him look like the only one who knows anything. I completely disagree. You give him far too much credit. I don't think he's a master of much, and I don't think his intellectual dishonesty fools much of anyone. You make it sound like he's sly and resourceful - I see him as slow, dumb and cumbersome. Getting the better of him intellectually is extremely easy, and his lame attempts at recovery are transparent to all. He rarely makes a successful rejoinder to any challenge, and contradicts himself repeatedly. I cannot recall any instance in which he has made anyone other than himself look like an idiot. -- Mike Ash Radio Free Earth Broadcasting from our climate-controlled studios deep inside the Moon- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - With respect, I'd urge you to not underestimate MX. I have not tested him, but judging from the level of his responses I'd judge a conventional IQ test would find him in the 125 area. That is not to say his social skills or human interaction skills are advanced -- they are not. |

That is not to say his social skills or human interaction skills are advanced -- they are not. 125's not much. . . Certainly far from sufficient to substantiate the profile he's trying to cut here. He's out of his depth and running naked. Quite a few contributors here who can better that score and better him - and do, regularly, while making tuna salad in the background. I'm well aware of that. Never the less, mischaracterizing him diminishes the person doing that. He may be a standard deviation or more to the good side of normal in IQ, but far to the other side in other important social characteristics. That's just my opinion, of course, but I do have some training and professional experience in that area. to his level. |
