Perhaps the following link will increase the robustness of the understanding of OBTUSENESS:

My post had nothing to do with the understanding of the definition of obtuseness, so no need for the dictionary reference. It had everything to do with pointing out that the one commenting about vivid "irrational, unfounded, hyper-thin-skinned alerts" posts his own vivid "irrational, unfounded, hyper-thin-skinned alerts". I'm sorry I had to explain it to you, but at least I didn't ping the swarm you called.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Must have been REALLY traumatic . . . having “the swarm” pinged.

What an honor to be part of the Biblers’ swarm.

Thin skinned? Hmmmm . . . sounds like the daffynitions have been drug out again.

Last I checked, “thin-skinned” had to do with a kind of insecure, affronted, brittleness—a hair-trigger offendedness—particularly of a personal nature—personally affronted, personally offended.

People say all kinds of things about me the live-long day and night and it’s amusing.

Now speaking about God and Truth and Scripture, THAT I can get wound up about easily. I don’t tend to think of that as thin-skinned. And I don’t expect that I’ll allow the DAFFYNITIONS of the Vatican to coerce me into changing my definition of thin-skinned, either.
