[Iwo Jima]

""I use the word "moron" like my partner uses the term "crackers." Not as a nasty insult about a person's intelligence, but rather as a way to say, wow, that person's thought process is beyond me. So in my world, it wasn't this big insult."

Anyone who says that calling a person a "moron" is not a nasty or big insult is too "logic-free" to attempt conversation with. That you obviously need to consult a dictionary or a professional linguist to know the meaning of such a basic term WHICH IS ALWAYS AN INSULT is proof positive that you are either 1) not very bright or 2) disingenous (that means lacking candor, or insincere).

At last, some intelligent conversation.
