No, actually I think the original poster had a reasonable point (eventhough
I also agree with your subsequent postings about being open-minded about
"less-intelligent" people).

Personally it has been my experience that whereas I have not encountered
difficulties with someone feeling "insecure" about "inferior intelligence",
I have encountered a quite different problem, numerous times: that of the
other person trying to "stifle" my thinking.  This typically involved
critical comments like "You think too much.  You are always trying to
understand everything.  If I did that all the time, I'd go crazy."

I think this is just a basic compatibility problem; perhaps people who are
perceived as "more intelligent" are actually just more analytical in their
thinking.
