Insult injury = _ ?

Does anyone else think the newspaper's puzzles could do with some improvement? Simplistic mysteries that fail to even provide an illusion that they require any complex thought. Anyone with the capability to read at a third-grade level could solve these. A few minor trivia facts and you're granted a hollow prize. Gaining a few coupons does not help a genius in need of stimulation.

And this new bit that's written like something out of a lackluster children's clue book. Riddled with mistakes. It could kill several brain cells reading. Slanderous to the word "enigma." An insult to everyone's intelligence, really. Not that the intelligence levels are particularly high for most of you...
Almost an insult to everyone's.

Whoever is in charge of this is clearly some buffoon. Asinine publishing. We can do better.

What is a riddle you truly felt rewarded for solving? What is a mystery you have agonized over before discovering the answer for? Is there a puzzle you still haven't figured out? A person or situation that continues to vex you?

Would anyone miss that newspaper if something terrible happened to it?

No, but the gravity might have.

Thank you for your contribution to my survey. The standards are far lower than I had thought.

Are you truly expecting honest answers?

[acrostic]

Most would give one. The creativity of the lies with those who wouldn't would clue me in on if bothering with you all is worth an ounce of my time.

C'ourse - truth is subjective just as reality is... Assuming you're from an Earth you have a blue sky but some other life in your universe could disagree with you and say, no the sky is red or green. Which is also the truth.

And then of course, here in Genessia is - the multiverse.

Duh.

For a moment, I had mistakenly thought you might have actually read what I said and could respond to it with a modicum of intelligence.
