I'm not desperate to be seen as smart. I'm fairly certain that I am smart. and I'm fairly certain that shows in what I say and how I say it, but I don't write that way to stroke my own ego - I write that way because I enjoy writing that way. If something piques my interest to the point where I put down a whole wall of text of points and whatnot, I do that because I have a blast doing that.
I mean, obviously I don't want to be seen as stupid, but that's something different than trying to be seen as smarter than I am - something that I don't really see the need of in the first place.
