For my fellow and Moon Maidens?

I just read a question "Are Cancers intellectually stimulating, or do you find them too moody and emotional?"...this really aggravated me. Why is it that Cancers are considered to be nothing but clingy whiners who can't get through a conversation without a Kleenex in their hand? Has anyone actually gotten to know a Cancer? We are hardly sitting there at all times drowning in our own misery and begging the person we're with not to go! People hardly ever see my emotional or "moody" side. I think we are extremely intelligent and I admire us for using our intellect to help our fellow man. We're the best listeners, and give advice from the heart. Above all else we are intuitive and know a person's weaknesses but NEVER use them against the person even when we're hurt and angry. That is a rare gift that people take for granted. Are there any other intellectual out there? I managed to earn a Master's degree despite my pathetic nature. I find the ignorance stifling. Thoughts?
