Is it arrogant to hope for intelligent conversation here?

Not at all. Probably entirely futile, but nothing for arrogance

It happens... The we hunt down the miscreants and thrash them soundly😜

Unlikely rather than arrogant I'd say.

Maybe unrealistic

No it really should be a thing that you find people able to string words together.
Admittedly I often struggle after the Gin kicks in.
Then it’s just random bollox

Theres a couple intelligent people on here actually. Hopefully you stumble upon them soon. Xoxo

Maybe. I think you must be too intelligent for us.

Not at all , much prefer to chat like that.

I only know it's rarely the place you should look. What to expect here? Shallow acquaintances, with an insecure membership that will tell you it's arrogant to ask for anything else. But you also need to know where you are, and maybe they are right, but how do you shift the needle in conversation?

no, but you must be lucky!

No

Not arrogant but wishful thinking. Vapidity is prevalent.

On what particular subjects that would interest you?

It is to imply it's all that difficult to find.

You get what you invest 😉
