I wasn't being abusive, nor was I belitting you which is what you are doing to me... I was sharing my opinion and observations based upon the things which you have said in this thread and was trying to offer you a perspective that is different from yours.
And yes, I do know how it feels to be discounted, shamed, belitted for being different - for being more intelligent academically than my peers. I lived that too. But that is only one kind of intelligence, and even when I am academically more intelligent than someone, it doesn't make me superior. It just happens to be my strength, what my body and brain are good at.
