To provide context, Corey seems to be addressing these words
from Will:

Corey, I think Will was using "Brainiac" to indicate not
necessarily intelligence, but technical competence when it
comes to writing and/or judging poetry.  He does have that,
as do you.

Nor, in this context, do I think he was intending it to be
either complimentary or disparaging, just an observation.

I also don't think Will is a solipsist, and maybe you don't
either.  I'm thinking you think he's self-centered, but
that's not what "solpsist" means.  Maybe you know this
already.
