    I’m extremely intelligent.

    If you feel the need to say it, you probably aren’t as intelligent as you think you are.

      Eh, it’s a largely anonymous internet forum. No one could possibly know from reading a single comment, nor does it exactly afford bragging rights.

      Intelligence vs wisdom… he may have the one, but probably not the other.

      …what? How do you expect them to demonstrate their intelligence within the span of a single comment, without telling you? This “comeback” doesn’t work if their intelligence constitutes actually relevant context.

        They don’t need to prove their intelligence, but this entire line just throws off “but awkshully” vibes of someone who thinks too highly of themselves. Bolding mine.

        Now I’m gonna say something that usually results in people telling me I’m arrogant and sincerely this isn’t arrogance it’s just fact: I’m extremely intelligent.

        You know who brags about their intelligence enough to be told they are arrogant? Morons. Morons who think they are super smart do that.

        If they left that one sentence out then the rest of their post as written would have made them look smart.
