Seriously, why? Why not put some effort into your thoughts? Enrich your knowledge? Bring facts to your opinions, and not opinions to self-acted facts?
I am no perfect all-knowing guru myself, but at least I try to stay at a level of knowledge interesting enough to provide a good discussion.
I can understand you all coming to HsC just to "hang about" with your mates, but...I can not pass the urge to alert to the demise of this community's interestingness.
-
You're an asshat for bringing this up.
-
I think Dann is going to come in and ask you back that up with facts.
-
hahahahahaha. Oh wait, you're serious?
Is this community too low for the mighty Dann? Honestly, that is the vibe I am getting from you.
-
Is this because I pirated the Pokemon game and posted that I did? :x

Because deep down, you too, felt that the overall interestingness of this community discussions has lowered, or because I had the balls to come out of the "All-faking-all-gripping" and voice my opinion up? Shunning on my opinions, views and feelings won't change them.
I think Dann is going to come in and ask you back that up with facts.
Could be a good assumption. But no. I would rather people stopped calling me names and discussed the issues at hand.

I wrote that with a purpose...you know? If I knew you were going to just skim it through, I wouldn't have wasted time typing it down.

Nope. I didn't even know that, to be honest.

I read that perfectly fine, you are still suggesting that this site has too little intelligence for you. Suggesting that you are being more knowledgeable than most here. How do you not see that?

There is no issue. It is just you saying that others are not being as intelligent as you, like always.

No, I am not. I am suggesting the "Headshot Community" -aso its content- IQ level is going down. Your are taking it personal. That is a problem of your own. If I had anything against you, I would have addressed the issue in your name, and your name only.

Quote it. Facts. Show them to me. Otherwise, your argument holds no water, other than being your own assumption and understanding of what I read.

I think there is a distinct line between intelligence and stupidity. Having said that, it is possible that Dann is being more intelligent than the others here. There is one flew in Dann's logic, though. He failed to provide proof that the overall intelligence level of this website is dwindling. Therefor, he might have made insinuation that remain to be false.
On the flip side, I think Dann is more intelligent than some people here.
-
I'd say Dann is among the most intelligent here but among the most arrogant as well. Perhaps he's earned it through intelligence though.

I don't think anyone should be arrogant regardless of their intelligence.
@Dann, I am a part of the headshot community so anything said about it applies to me as well unless stated otherwise.

The proof is lying down in this website. We used to have more compelling discussions at here, just go and check early discussions had on Headshot. These have not been had recently. Instead, hardware discussion and superficial game reviews (No, I am not talking necessarily about Pokémon) have taken over. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, from a neutral standpoint. In my eyes, however, this means people are less keen to enrich themselves. Furthermore, some comments, namely Killaman's latest on the AMD thread -relating to the iPad- is a perfect example of "lower IQ responses", to which I find no reason(s) as to why it should remain ignorant, or unjustified.
I am not more intelligent than others. If anything, I have put some more effort into enriching my intelectual, moreso than some people in this community. I have read philosophy, mythology, human psychology, conceptual reading, and so on. I put a lot of thinking into what I say, so that overtime, my saying become more consistent and relevant.
I'd say Dann is among the most intelligent here but among the most arrogant as well. Perhaps he's earned it through intelligence though.
I am not arrogant. Really, I am not. If you've ever spoken with me in real life, you'll understand this fully. What I am, though, is blunt and factual. I have pleasure discussing things to a meniscus level most don't bother to get at. It may be due to my level of perfectionism, or attempt at -or it may just be my nature. Either way, if there is something that makes little to no sense in one's argument, and I believe to have the facts/reasoning to counter it, I will take that chance to not only contradict your thoughts/opinions, but to eventually make you understand some more thought can possibly be in order, so that you as a thinking-individual, become better and more consistent.
@Dann, I am a part of the headshot community so anything said about it applies to me as well unless stated otherwise.
True. As it applies to me. Right? Good. It's good that we understand the concept of a "Community" equally.
-

I'm offended.
Perhaps it's just my nature, but when talking to someone I treat them as an equal and actually go out of my way to be nice to them (maybe not so much online, but irl). Perhaps it's also just my nature, but I don't judge them on such a level as consistence in thinking.

I actually gave my reasoning in that thread now. I couldn't post everything I wanted earlier because I was on my Zune.

I enjoy those topics as well as most of the other people here. Just because you want different discussions doesn't mean the community's IQ is going downhill. That is a selfish way of thinking, don't you think?
-

I find this amusing that you praise someone that openly mocks your beliefs.
No, I am not. I am suggesting the "Headshot Community" -aso its content- IQ level is going down. Your are taking it personal. That is a problem of your own. If I had anything against you, I would have addressed the issue in your name, and your name only.
Killaman already said what I was going to say about this.
I think the problem lies in several areas. We all are different and because of that, have different interests. I'd be more involved in discussions concerning computer whatnots and Dann, you'd be more involved in art topics. Neither of which necessarily apply to Killaman or AJ even though they have posted, it may not necessarily be their forte. Also, I started a couple discussions on debates and whatnot but have run dry since I don't pay attention to news or current events. I'm not being ignorant in that, it's really just selfish and lack of caring. If it doesn't affect me, I don't really care. I don't think the quality or intelligence of the site has gone down but if I had, I wouldn't have gone about it such an insulting way as you did. You could have brought it up lightly or better yet, done something about it like trying to start some debates or discussions about hot topics. You've posted one prior and got butthurt as you went too artistic/philosophical for the people here. I may be simple but I just think day in day out and don't have a need to go diving into the depths of the brain like you did in that post.
-

I might have expressed it wrong. I wanted it to mean that becoming better and more consistent in a consequence, not an intention.
That is a selfish way of thinking, don't you think?
Yes, it is indeed. I agree.

Call me arrogant and insulting, but for all I know, I have done tried my best to bring about interesting discussions. Be it in discussion simple subjects (Photography in BW and Colour) or matters of further depth in the horizons of humanity and so on. Yes, maybe this isn't the community to discuss about things. Maybe this is just a place for hanging about --I'd like to think this is for more than just hanging. That this serves a bigger purpose rather than just being a platform for socialize and hardware/game review. Headshot has so many fine gentleman in it; it just sounds like an awful waste, IMO.
As to the OP. Yes, could have went about it more lightly. I guess I am not tailed to being a suger-coated type of guy.
If I am such an annoyance to the lot of you, you can always go ahead and ban me.
Reserving my opinion and shutting my voice down is something I will not do, ever.
-
So let me get this straight, our IQ is supposedly getting lower because we do not share the same interests as you? That is an extremely ridiculous claim for such an "intelligent" person. I'm beginning to think that this whole topic was a joke.
-
Then again...when did I claim to be an intelligent person myself?
Yes Killa, I am ridiculous and this topic was a joke on itself.
And I am Portuguese.
-
Dann, do your quotes better, I don't know who said what when it gets all chopped up.

That was like watching a Benny Hill episode.

Don't really look at email here. I changed my philosophy and tell people if they want to reach me they can call me. People with important requests leave a message.

Hmmm, I guess there's a maximum.

Why does Dann have the max 16bit hex number for internetz?

This thread is such a good example of what I meant by saying the community went bollocks as far as intelligence is concerned. Long live the few exceptions to this, though. They know who they are, I believe. But...it just hit me --There is nothing I can do to change this. Even when Headshot has been a second home to me, there are times when one most abstain from the feelings towards a certain thing and move on. Pitifully. But firmly.
I have said this many many many times: I am not smarter than you. I am not better than you. I have good things and bad things about myself. The only thing that makes me different than most is probably the kind of life I lead so far, the liberty and knowledge I have struggled to acquire and the thought I put to what I do. Ironically, I only get called "arrogant" by people who aren't used to my bluntness and straight-forwardness. I always live space for other's people opinions, and may or may you not believe, always consider those expressed opinions of yours, even when they make almost no sense to my sense of sense (redundancy loves me do!) -- It is for me to figure whether I want to actually discuss the validity of said argument/opinion or let it sit by. It's shown to be worthless. If you can't understand -mostly because you are too hardheaded to stay away from your quick, likely wrongful perceptions- what/how good I mean with my posts, then I might just be wasting my time, completely.
I, too, percept things wrongly, sometimes. Most of the times that I do, I force myself to re-read what needs re-reading and analyse until I can understand what truly is being siad, and not what my mind is reading.
People call me a prick because: 1) They either mean it as a joke 2) They are too lazy to understand more than what is obvious to them.

Daan, you are a PRICK! ;D
