actually, yes
Under normal circumstances, I would never call someone ignorant but
someone who gets on the Linux list and posts a message that is purely
political with absolutely no connection to the list purpose whatsoever
is ignorant...there simply is no way to sugar coat it.
Consider...
Subject: We are screwed
Content: It is not surprising but Obama won:(
Considering that this is the PLUG list and it has no connection to
Phoenix or Linux users it could only be ignorant to click send. I think
I am being generous by calling him ignorant because there certainly are
many more adjectives that easily come to mind.
