To: SoldierDad; b_sharp
When a poster posts a comment in which they claim someone is uneducated and provides no clarity as to what they mean by that, then they have wronged the other person. A more correct term to use in such an instance is the word "ignorant" of the subject as opposed to uneducated in general (which is what that post implied). This is especially true when the poster's comment has no clarification, wouldn't you say?

LOL!! OK -- from now on we will call people "ignorant" instead of "uneducated." (FWIIW -- most people [IMHO] prefer the latter)

But if you want to invoke the "SoldierDad" rule to call ignorant people ignorant, we can try. But the mods seem to see "ignorant" as an insult and "uneducated" as an unfortunate circumstance.

What say ye, b_sharp?
