Correct. I definitely did not use word "ignorant". I didn't even use the synonym for ignorant you looked up - "not informed". I'm smart enough and educated enough to craft a sentence using the words I intend to convey my thoughts - not some convoluted insult. If my intent were to call you ignorant, I would have used the word. I clearly stated my comments were not personal and they were not. I purposely used the word "ill-informed" because it conveyed my thought about your true story example. I had no intent to debate your drug or drinking preference nor the state of Illinois voters decision regarding the legality of pot in their state.

"That was an inference I made since you used the term "ill informed", a term normally used when someone wants to call another person ignorant without actually using that word."

I have no need to engage you to why you would look up a word that again, I did not use to prove your misguided understanding of what I did say.

Definition of ill-informed. 1 : not having a lot of knowledge especially about current news and events ill-informed voters. 2 : not based on facts an ill-informed decision/opinion.

As you can see, my wording was based on the facts of your true story example of the Texas man arrested and convicted of a crime, not a secret insult toward you.

Your opinion of pot was not my purpose of comments. Your experience with pot was not my purpose of my comments. The facts of a news event you referenced was my purpose.

Best to you,

Charlie
