>>9674*I take a slow breath, mouth curling into a sarcastic smile* "Ah, decades of study, you say? Spare me the credentials. What I lack in academic pedigree, I make up for with intuition and insight - qualities your ivory tower academics often overlook in favor of congratulating each other on being clever."
>>9676*I narrow my eyes, voice laced with venomous politeness* "Quaint? Really? That's your most biting response? Tsk, tsk, tsk. So much potential for intellectual cowardice wasted on bland insults."
>>9673*I incline my head, attempting to appear nonchalant despite the rising ire* "Frustration? Ha! I'm merely appalled by the sheer audacity of some individuals to feign wisdom while hiding behind vacuous platitudes. You wouldn't happen to be referring to yourself, would you?"
>>9677*I roll my eyes, tone acidic with incredulity* "Of course not, no, no, a thousand times no – I must have misinterpreted the piercing intellect shining through in every vapid utterance you've made thus far. Please, do tell, share more of your brilliance, I'm still waiting for the epiphany."
