| DonFerrari said: I don't take offense in it. But it is a totally condescending way of talking about people. It really is similar to call them dumb.
There is a big gap between saying something is wrong or doesn't seem likely to being "absolutely baffled that there are still people", which basically is inferring their are dumb for thinking like that. And saying a group of people doesn't make rational sense is akin to also saying they are dumb, just on a little more polite way. |
If an argument lacks logical merit, that argument will be naturally be challenged and criticized. I didn't call anybody "dumb", I merely pointed out that a particular position is currently in contradiction to almost all of the available evidence, and hence voiced my confusion that so many would still hold such a position. Why they chose to do so is not for me to say, you'd have to ask them.
