When did "ignorance" suddenly become "an intellectually legitimate point of view?" When did "ignorance" suddenly become "an intellectually legitimate point of view?"

So, do you subscribe to the 'theory' that he who makes the first insult is the winner of the argument?

I only discuss a matter with people who know how to reman civil during the discussion.

It's not an insult--it's a statement of FACT. You stated that you are ignorant of the field in question--and then proceed to make a sweeping statement about that field from that position of ignorance.

Being called "ignorant" is only an insult if it is untrue. You admitted to it--why do you find people taking you at your word to be an insult?
