It's human nature and unfortunately "you can't fix stupid". It isn't personal - such people visit all sorts of subjects in the happy assumption that they know all there is to know. It can be incredibly annoying at times, especially if they catch us on a vulnerable day. I have every empathy with you, but people don't change and so it's down to us on the receiving end to rise above it all. It has taken me most of my life to understand that stupid people can't actually help being stupid, and I still struggle with the concept at times. After all, they could still be empathetic, courteous and thoughtful, but it's easier to big themselves up by trying to put someone else down. As the Scots say, "more to be pitied than scorned".</p></blockquote><p></p>
