Here is the disconnect. You did say you don't know it happened. Sorry you see being called ignorant an insult. It does not have to be although I realize it can be in certain situations. I am ignorant on many issues that I would like to learn more about. Being ignorant is not the same as being dumb.
Exactly. If you don't know something, you're ignorant to it. I don't understand why people automatically take that as an insult. People mix up ignorant and stupid all the time. The issue isn't being ignorant (like, I'm ignorant about sports stats), it's when you're ignorant about something important and you won't admit to it, or you (gy) won't recognize that it happens because you can't speak on it from a personal POV.
