Juju: no, that does not make sense. The point that both you and smccosker are failing to address is that you both raised the issue of niffweed's age and education, contrasting that with your Harvard education. The only possible way to intepret that is that both of you have an hierarchical view of people, that is to say, niffweed's age and education make it worse that he called you a moron. In fact, one of you (I forget who) made a point of saying that niffweed was feeling bothered by your education -- which is some sort of projection, imo.
I have asked you both to explain why you think that niffweed's age and education are of any relevance to this, and neither of you have explained.
To answer your question: different people are offended by different things. I don't care about being called a moron by anyone here, regardless of their age or education. I care more about other things; infantile name-calling does not really affect me.
I accept, however, that if you are offended by being called a moron, people should refrain from doing so, niffweed included.
But, I am still waiting for an elaboration on why you both think that his age and education, and yours, have any relevance on the gravity of that; and, that being so, why shouldn't I, with my age and education, have more of a right.
As for the video, lechysupport explained it well.
