I personally find that because I sound 'posh' a lot of people take an instant dislike without getting to know me. I wonder if the same thing is happening to Luisa in this forum!

Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is a ridiculous idea as their are so many different ways of looking at this somewhat mal-formed concept.

Another interpretation would be 'I can't speak to a mind with fixed opinions', but using the IQ concept to offend and hurt, which clearly worked and perhaps backfired.

A lesson to us all, criticism creates enemies.
