And most importantly, has anyone changed anyone's mind about anything? Or just personal insults back and forth that has nothing to do with anything?
Just curious, and I don't even have to read to know the answer.

In a tiny nutshell:
Barleycorn and Whirlaway are arguably the forum's two biggest nuisances. Occasionally one of them will shock everyone by making a pretty good point about some issue, but not often. Most of the time they just post silly, worthless (and often redundant) threads and hurl insults at everyone who dares to disagree with them. No one defends their behavior and most of us are sick of their antics.
But from time to time you will see reasoned discussions of topical issues in this forum. (Yes, seriously! It happens.)

Possibly not, but I always like to read points of view expressed by those whose views differ from mine. One point I've made a few times is that I think it's most interesting to read columns and articles written by those with whom you usually disagree. I think engaging in the exercise of imaging how you would craft your dissenting opinion is one of the best ways to grow and learn.
Unfortunately, most people seem interested only in reading, watching, or listening to stuff that confirms their previously held biases, whatever they may be.

You're very perceptive. You will get bored of this very soon.

Same here. The only real argument was when one douche-nozzle decided to post his own way of grading. The quiz was fun, the instructions were to take about 30 minutes and then you get a grade. Simple for some, more difficult for others.

The first sentence on the quiz you keep referring to is a legal disclaimer so no one goes around claiming they are a member of mensa based on their quick and dirty quiz score. It is a reflection of the actual IQ test but not the complete test (obviously). Stop acting that one sentence is your saving grace or something.
And people are not automatically Mensa members bc of any SAT scores. You have to apply, show certified results from an accedited facility that you scored in the top 2% on approved intelligence test for your age. A four year old can be a member of mensa if their approved intelligence test results are in the top 2% for that test.

You are a joke........
You are so far off base it is incredible; I never hurl personal insults unless they are thrown first....
In this very thread; you were the first to throw the insults my way (Post 59)....
Your ego is so far out of check you can't recognize reality.

LMAO! Sure thing, Whirlaway! No, you NEVER gratuitously insult anyone else, do you? Everyone reading this thread knows that, I'm sure! Think for just a moment about your whole history on this site, you ignorant asshole. For instance, in post #26 you called someone who had NOT addressed you previously a "fucking loser."
In this very thread; you were the first to throw the insults my way (Post 59)....
See above. And note that you first manifested blatant dishonesty way back in post #29, and were called on it in the very next post!
Your ego is so far out of check you can't recognize reality.
Oh, Jeez! Please say it ain't so. You're hectoring someone on what you claim to be his failure to recognize reality? Seriously?

And you didn't stop with the initial insults; but now you whine about getting it thrown back at you.....

Sure, Whirlaway. I have no doubt that everyone believes you!
And sorry, but your dream of having me fuck myself ain't gonna happen. I'm leaving shortly to let my delightful primary SB handle that!
(But thanks anyway.)

Of course you think everyone is on your side; you have an out-of-reality ego and you think the universe spins around yourself.............
But facts are facts; and in this thread you started hurling the insults my way first and now you whiney about having it thrown back at you............
You are just a little man with an out-sized impression of himself.....
Funny you have to bring your "sugarbaby" into this thread discussion.....pathetic really.....need some fantasy props to prove your the man you claim to be?
Who is next ? Your mamma ....................

You STILL haven't learned the difference between "your" and "you're?"

If it works for you, just go right on believing whatever you wish.
By the way, it sure looks like you could use an English class (as I recommended to you yesterday). If you get an education, maybe you'll be able to afford SBs and quality escorts, too!

Now you are whiteknighting for TrannyTim....TFF..........???
TrannyTim is one of the worse offenders of hurling insults in the Political Forum.......he constantly trolls my threads and hurls insults regularly.....
For example this post in one of my threads: http://eccie.net/showpost.php?p=1055000296&postcount=38...one of many by TrannyTim which i have ignored.
Looking for excuses for your own miserable actions......poor excuses for your own lies in this thread.............
Again, you were the 1st to hurl insults my way; not me at you !
You lie to make a false point.....speaks volumes on your lack of integrity.

No one said that this test was the end all, be all of tests. It was just for fun but some people get real defensive when they don't measure up...even for fun.
No, I am not a Mensa member but my ACTs and SATs qualified me years ago. I am not a joiner. Though maybe it's time.
The problem that you won't be told about is that I have had a varied life and lived in many places. Since I can't reveal my name or enough to compromise myself I find myself talking about things I know about but can't say why. I have an extensive education to go with my experience. I'm not trying to impress anyone but around here a logical, cogent argument doesn't do the trick. They would prefer to snicker about what they think your sex life should be (there are some real gay life style promoters here) and they want to argue minutia. How many years in a century? 100 but if you use the term century instead of 97 or 103 then there are some asses here who think that is significant. So sometimes you have to put out there that your IQ is in the upper ranges. What does that mean? Different things to different people apparently.
I made a proposal. How about we all put out the money, take the test, and post the results minus any identifying data?
