ANSWER---------Clever retort, but you failed to actually answer my 
question. METHINKS it may be because you know that saying 
something is judgemental and/or ignorant is perfectly 
acceptable. But you just don't like it.

ASNWER-----Again, cute comment, but you failed to answer the 
question , just side-stepped it.

ANSWER----I did, but was proven wrong.

     If you read my post carefully --- NOT -- you would have noticed 
I did not call the PERSON stupid, but the comment.

So, sir, you most certainly did impugn a person's character.

      I never said a person was unintelligent. But the thing they 
SAID was unintelligent. Someone camn be very intelligent but 
say horribly unintellign et things, as you have so aptly proved.
