ok I mixed you up with the one you were egging on with non-essential comments. mea culpa. that does not absolve you of the responsibility for the post that caused the thread to be closed.
the comment I made is a paraphrase of one by Richard Dawkins, and it might increase your education to read the whole article:
Ignorance is No Crime"It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)." I first wrote that in a book review in the New York Times in 1989, and it has been much quoted against me ever since, as evidence of my arrogance and intolerance. Of course it sounds arrogant, but undisguised clarity is easily mistaken for arrogance. Examine the statement carefully and it turns out to be moderate, almost self-evidently true.
By far the largest of the four categories is "ignorant," and ignorance is no crime (nor is it blissI forget who it was said, "If ignorance is bliss, how come there's so much misery about?"). Anybody who thinks Joe DiMaggio was a cricketer has to be ignorant, stupid, or insane (probably ignorant), and you wouldn't think me arrogant for saying so. It is not intolerant to remark that flat-earthers are ignorant, stupid, or (probably) insane. It's just true.
You might want to read the whole article to see where you fit in. You will note that I added deceived to his list, as I think it is more applicable than a blanket insane.
For point of reference "insane" also includes but is not limited to
deluded whether by one's own mental state or by others who have contributed to it.
I put most people who continue with mistaken arguments in the category of {deceived\deluded} once they have shown that ignorance is not the issue.
And for the record: I stand by the statement, with the added caveat -- if the shoe fits, wear it.
Personally I don't care
what your opinion is, and all this ranting is really humorous because, heh, as it appears you don't have much else to say.
Certainly you couldn't contribute to the topic that is now closed.
I also notice that you did not jump on CreationFan for his comment, so it would appear that you are the hypocrite on this topic.
Enjoy. Really.
