As she demonstrated why some people find "Mensa" and all its works and all its empty promises silly, pretentious, and risible. ROFL!!!

Why is the fact that I was a smart child and am now a good editor silly, pretentious and risible? Further, of what promises do you speak? (I'd also be interested in knowing how my admittedly arrogant attitude reflects these "promises," whatever they be.)

(By the way, the organization's name is actually Mensa, so no need for quotation marks.)

Well gee golly whillickers, if'n ya jest jine up wit' dis-here Mensa club, why ya getsta show the world how sooperior ya are. Step right this way...

Seriously, most of the members I have met, whether in person or during the course of my centuries of internet dwelling, have been poor ambassadors for their organisation. I didn't say you were silly, pretentious and risible ... I said that of the organisation. I'd much rather hang out with the rednecks at the rifle range. (AB pulls his collar aside and checks: Yup! It's still red.) I've found that IQ (however defined) is a poor predictor of whether I will enjoy a person's company.
