Oh good Lord.

...I actually was (technically, still am) in MENSA. The one and only reason I joined was because, when I qualified, I giggled for a solid two minutes at the very idea that I WAS eligible, and then figured that was a good sign I wouldn't take it too seriously, figured I'd meet people I wouldn't have met otherwise, and signed up. I've since let my membership lapse because I ended up going to few of the member events and I thought the dues a bit steep.

But I always insisted that the thing about IQ is that it is only a measurement of CAPACITY. It's kind of like, everyone's walking around with a different size pitcher, and the people with the high IQ's just have, like, a gallon instead of a half-gallon or a quart or whatever. But the size of the pitcher is only one thing -- the rest of it is what you put IN that pitcher. Having a gallon-size pitcher isn't a great thing if you've only been filling your pitcher with rancid Strawberry Yoo-Hoo. And a quart pitcher is just fine if you've filled it with Veuve Cleuquot.

So simply saying "I am in MENSA" does not lend your ideas any more credibility, unless someone is expressly saying something about how "only morons could like X". Which I don't think happened here -- it was just a matter of "X sucks".
