Just pointing out that you wouldn't have written that if I'd said "126". So it's definitely not my emotional problem.
How do you know that?
What is average IQ?

It's ok to just casually say it, but to say "Ha, look at me, my IQ is XXX!" is extremely annoying.
I admit that I casually mentioned it, completely within the context of the discussion, in the same way that I did just now but in a context where I knew the person concerned would get very wound up about it: but doing that is just a form of minor and very innocent teasing. However, it was blown up out of all proportion. I went on to ask whether if I had been six feet ten inches tall, mentioning that would have had such a devastating effect. I came to the conclusion that many people are under the illusion that IQ is fixed, static and cannot be improved, and so they get annoyed.
Look at #86 and #87. Also, you couldve made your point WITHOUT stating your IQ and it would have had a better effect. That might be what chessguy is trying to say, and i agree with him.
