Re: Are you ready?

Are you calling yourself stupid?

I'm not telling him that he's stupid because I believe it will stop him being stupid. If there is the smallest possiblity that bringing to his attention the fact that he sounds like an idiot will stop him spouting this shite, then it's worth the effort. If I can save one individual from being indoctrinated by his potentially very dangerous nonsense, then it's worth it.

If you really think they are stupid, you won't accomplish anything. Essentially you don't cure a person of stupidity by bringing it to their attention.

One either instructs or ignores.
