Well, nota bene: "one of the more intelligent and interesting remarks I'VE READ ON A CRACKY BOARD". I'm afraid that's not saying VERY MUCH. This place isn't exactly the Coffee Room at the Oxford and Cambridge Club.
But the real test of intelligence is, in any case, NOT whether someone can occasionally slap down a remark expressive of an engaging attitude or way of thinking on the board but rather whether that person can then go on to engage in a creative and interesting DISCUSION of that attitude or way of thinking.
I've NEVER seen any such actual DISCUSSION of anything occur either here or on Crackyhouse - which is what made "Pedrobear"'s orgy of samefagging on CH last week so ridiculous and so despicable.
But it's true that lack of intelligence is probably only the secondary reason why there is never any such thing as a discussion on a Cracky board about anything, ever.
The primary reason is certainly narcissism and rampant, insatiable egomania. Even if people who post here were inteligent enough to engage in sustained dscussions with other people, they wouldn't do so because that would mean moving the spotlight off themselves and their own pirouettes and theatrical self-stylizations for a moment.
With your constant public broadcasts about your suicide attempts (filmed or still-to-be-filmed) and current regimes of medication, you're certainly guilty of unconscionable narcissism and self-involvement, Schwill.
And if that doesn't necessarily make you an "idiot" in the sense in which the term is current today, it DOES make you an "idiot" in the original Greek sense of the term (which remains, whether we know it or not, at the root of what we mean when we use it):
ἰδιώτης : the man who was concerned with his private, subjective affairs alone, and took no interest in matters that had an objective importance for the broader mass of humanity.
