So true my friend. So true.
my favorite : "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.”

i will rename ignatius J reilly
my vote btw
its interesting but the internet these days have too much emphasis on it. Anyone can literally start any thread on any forum and given enough posts one person will call another stupid.
We were taught never to call another person stupid.
True but sometimes you have to call an apple an apple and an orange an orange.
you miss my point.
Did you mean that no matter what opinion you have that if enough people comment on it someone will call you stupid? If that was your meaning then I agree.
I also don't call people stupid. I don't call anyone anything if I can help it. Everyone has an opinion. They may be based on false or incorrect information but that is an opinion.
But there are some people who just are ignorant and proud of the fact. Try living in the US and not seeing it daily on the news.
