I have know idea what the op said because the post has been deleted. But I do want to comment on "intellectuals" and how they treat others.
In my opinion people who consider themselves to be intellectual often are no more well educated than your average college graduate. Unlike the average grad they do tend to hold onto "facts" as though they were precious heirlooms. Like an old collector they like to show off their heirlooms as often as possible to prove their value. And just like that old collect when they feel threatened they will throw those heirlooms at their "attacker' and try to beat them to death with them.
Now you may have noticed that a few lines back I but the word "facts" in quotes. Intellectuals love facts, but they only care about the ones that fit into their ideas. So they read up on data, no matter how unsupported, that agrees with their perceptions. For an "intellectual" the only thing more important than being right is making others agree with them. The only thing they find more offensive than differing opinions is valid counter data and facts.
Real intellectuals work at universities or other research sectors. Anyone who considers them self an intellectual, but doesn't get paid for their abundant intellect is probably just an egomaniacal megalomaniac with a subconscious inferiority complex.
You might be saying, hey those a pretty big words, maybe you think you are an intellectual. Nope, I'm just an average guy who double checked the word "megalomaniac" on dictionary.com because I know I make mistakes sometimes. Intellectuals with argue an opinion as fact until the next ice age. The average person, like me and most of the people reading this, like to preface their opinions with "in my opinion" and will happily go on living life knowing that others don't share that opinion.
