Marcabros, ICQ is a program folks use for internet communications. Sort of an Instant Messanger type application. I think you're referring to IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, which is the ratio of tested mental age to chronological age, usually expressed as a quotient multiplied by 100. And I think Leggs was merely making a point about what one is actually saying when using the term 'idiot'. Whether the intent is to defame a person accurately by definition of the word, or a general insult, the point is that there's no need for any insult of ANY nature in gallery comments. I didn't read your comments, nor did I see the image. BUT, I have noticed that certain folks seem to have a tendency to leave derogatory posts on some pictures. I'm not accusing you of this, nor am I naming any names. Point is... as I stated earlier, there's a difference between constructive and adversarial comments. If someone wants to start a fight, a gallery comment isn't the place to do it. On a personal note, I take exception to your statement that your IQ (or even your ICQ for that matter) "is bigger then the most americans ever get". I don't know you, and I wouldn't begin to make judgements about your intelligence, but it's for sure your ego is substantially larger than most of my fellow Americans that I know. Let's hope that both your talents and your intelligence are a match.
