Heh, I was in the middle-- between the rock of (stupid) meta and the hard place of (bad) fanfiction. :> I guess I don't really have any issues with my intelligence, so no one's really managed to intimidate me... I mean, seriously, it's fanfic meta, not astrophysics. Puts that in perspective :> Plus, most people are just plain wrong. And of course if they're right it's because I agree. ;)
I try to be patient with people if I feel they've got the desire to learn or understand and the openness to ideas that may not immediately click that enables that learning. Some raw intelligence also smoothes the way, and it's sadly inborn rather than acquired. I do think that the people who're most frustrated with others are generally tilting at windmills-- or in other words, they're projecting enemies and causes onto inanimate objects that they should just walk around, really :>
