Not Aware UK Was Intended For Great Writers Only

By David Guerra
Oct. 31, 2005

I am not a great writer, and I am pretty sure UK is not necessarily the place to find them. To me, this is an exchange of ideas kind of place. What makes a great writer? Is it the ability to be eloquent, to convince others of your correctness of ideas. No, I think it's best to just go ahead and proclaim your greatness fearlessly. Yeah, that's the ticket. It is truly inspiring to read those gifted highly intelligent writers who brave the dangers of being misunderstood. Here's a tip, it might lesson the danger if you could write a coherent sentence. Truly great minds realize there is much we do not know, lesser ones have no concept that there are things beyond their comprehension and thus think oila I must know everything. I'm not sure where I fit in, I am somewhat aware there is much I don't know, draw your own conclusions.

Anyway, it is a slippery slope to proclaim yourself a great writer, and associating yourself with celebrities and athletes will get you nowhere. Someone recently said Muhammad Ali was misunderstood, I don't doubt it, he had an IQ of about seventy-five. I think it's the lack of self awareness and lack of humility that can sometimes propel you to think of yourself as great, all evidence to the contrary. From what I have seen there are plenty of chatrooms where you can pretend to be just about anything, I don't believe gullibility is something you will find in UK to the degree sufficient for anyone to swallow any delusions we may have about ourselves. If you want to believe it, great, but expecting me to is somewhat insulting. I am sure there are avantgarde societies that like angry half sentences, but to quote Stewie "You would not know a great writer if one crawled up your ass and brought you to orgasm by prostate stimulation".
