We all have our flaws, mine being lack of strength, propensity for exaggeration, and overstating my abilities.

    By stating I am an intellectual, I am by no means attempting to place myself on a higher level than you, it is the mere statement of a fact. I gather and collect information in my head, and often have a deeper understanding of things than a lot of my peers and contacts. Does this make me better than them? Of course not!

    It kinda does...

    No worries, I was just messing around wit' yah.

    Well a lot of "Intellectuals" are high and mighty "greater than thou" individuals with super inflated egos, others are a bit more realistic. I happen to belong to the latter group, but it is easy to see how such an opinion could come about, taking it from a literal perspective.

    Of course, everything I just said is more or less meaningless as your statement was in jest, but as such a misunderstanding could occur in the future, I feel it best to get these feelings into the public eye now, rather than later.

    Of course, of course. One mustn't upset the lessers in case of an uprising.
