Dang, I'm a self confessed smart person and would not touch the bay area with a barge pole 10 foot or under. OP comment now substantiated.

As for your last sentence, that's dismaying to hear. If you're saying it in good faith, suggestions about how to do better would be welcome. Keep in mind that it's my job to post moderation comments and try to coax people into following the site guidelines. (In case it helps, they're even more tedious to write than they are to read.)
I still support the comment pointing out the generalisation of smart people and believe it's also fair to give a frank opinion of such arrogant assumptions without being told your opinion isn't "substantive" enough.
