When you say you find Mensa pointless, what do you mean? Have you attended meetings? Is it the meetings that are pointless, or the existence of the organization? In my experience, people who find Mensa offensive or pointless have not attended any meetings or parties they have. It is, after all, just a social group, like any other, though for this social group the thing people have in common is a high IQ. It's much like a cooking club, a book club, a baseball team, a quilting group, or a garden club -- just an excuse for a bunch of people to get together.
