No, suggesting that someone's comments are stupid is not an insult toward their person necessarily. It may be, it might not be. Many very intelligent people make stupid comments at times, often on purpose and/or as part of a particular agenda.
In your case however, I think it is obvious where the stupid comments come from...only a very stupid person couldn't figure if your stupid comments and stupid questions are the product of an intelligent or a stupid mind...
ZZzzzzzzzzz, your comments on this thread are incredibly stupid.
You have made stupid comment after stupid comment under your various aliases.
Mind you, this doesn't necessarily mean that you are stupid.
You have posted here on ET that you are divorced and wanted to kill your ex-wife, and you go to AA meetings. Bringing this up is not a flame, merely an observation.
So it is possible that you are intelligent, and you make such stupid comments because you're a lonely and divorced alcoholic with violent urges and nothing better to do with his time except make stupid comments to agitate people on an internet chat board. But of course it is possible that you are not an intelligent lonely and divorced alcoholic with violent urges, but a stupid lonely and divorced alcoholic with violent urges.
However, since you attend AA meetings, you do socialize to some extent, so you may not be lonely, although posting here with the frequency you do certainly gives the impression that you do not get out much. If you are not a
lonely divorced alcoholic with violent urges who is intelligent or stupid, I apologize for the error. After all, we can only go by your public comments and actions.
In your case, however, I think it is obvious. Only a very stupid person couldn't figure if your stupid comments came from a stupid divorced alcoholic with violent urges or an intelligent divorced alcoholic with violent urges who may or may not be lonely.
Again, this is not a flame, but an observation based on statements you yourself have posted and utilize the same rationale you yourself employ. Any objective moderator will recognize that.
You, however, have flamed on this thread:

Frankly, if you had to employ reasoning skills to make a living, you would starve....
Asserting that tradernik has no reasoning skills and would die if he had to utilize them, is not based on statements he has made. He has not stated his profession and as such you cannot make any claim as to whether or not he employs reasoning to make a living.
