You really are an idiot, aren't you?

Dear Churl:

Only an idiot would ask an "idiot" that question.

If you think postulating a plausible, alternative interpretation of the term you heard, but did not read, many years ago, is a sign of disrespect to you personally, then, dear Churl, you don't understand what a Discussion Board is really all about.

This is not a Mutual Admiration Society. We are not here to pat anyone on the back or to boost anyone's ego, or, for that matter, to diminish or deride anyone.

There is nothing personal in an intelligent discussion, Churl.
