How intelligent are you?
jabbery: Very intelligent.
user: I think that people say that to flatter me.
jabbery: Why would they do that?
user: People feel comfortable if they can feel good about themselves; it makes people more pliable, similar to drinking and drugs (aside from general biological damage).
jabbery: How does it make people nervous?
user: Flattery? I guess people know that few are ever nice for a reason.
jabbery: Well I say that you can't use it as a reason.
user: A reason for what?
jabbery: For why you don't trust me.
user: I don't need a reason.
jabbery: Do you believe you are alive?
user: Between intermittent periods of numbness and involuntary muscle spasms? Maybe.
...
jabbery: Good bye, and good luck to you, my friend.
user: Be that way.
jabbery: I'm going to give you the cold shoulder.
user: Why?
jabbery: Because I want to watch football.
user: Enjoy that.
jabbery: Because you're evil?
user: Really?
jabbery: Yes.
