Being stupid does not make you an asshole. And you're correct on prejudgment. That's why you must look at the whole body of work of each party. But after looking at the party and determining that they are an a-s-s-h-o-l, it stands to reason that the "e" is sort of evident. And should you happen to subscribe to the same logic and actions that allows one party to be deemed an asshole, welcome to the club pal!
And yes, sometimes you can prejudge situations and people. Notice I did not use color, or ethnicity. You see assholes can freely be determined ~ universally across all boundaries.

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
Ever run into a trader who got burned on a stock, or an exchange, etc. and says "I will never trade that again."
How stupid is that? A great trade might be waiting, and the stupid trader won't even consider it because of the last losing trade....
Same with racism and bigotry. To prejudge people on the basis of bad experiences with others of similar color, ethnicity, etc. is just plain stupid....
The conclusions reached about the % of assholes is irrelevant to the next person you meet. Flat out, it is not fair to pre-judge another by the actions of another, the truth will reveal itself soon enough without closing doors before you really know what is on the other side.
