78. So those of us who think this group reeks of elitism
Edited on Sun Jul-16-06 05:04 PM by RagingInMiami
are now envious of your "gifts"?

No, it's not jealousy. Nor is it disdain.

It's words like "mediocrities" and "mundanes" and "less-than-gifted folks" and "regular folks" who have "slower, less complex thought processes" that clearly indicate an air of superiority and condescending attitude.

There are more effective ways to present this group without having to patronize or insult those whom you believe are inferior.

But it would take a somewhat more complex thought process to be able to do that successfully.
