That’s exactly what it means. You’ll note I’ve been very polite to you in the rest of the thread despite your not having made citations for any of your claims; this takes deliberate effort, because the alternative is that the forum devolves to comments that amount to: “Nuh-uh, you’re stupid,” which isn’t of much interest to anyone.
- jack_tripper 11mo ago>“Nuh-uh, you’re stupid,” You're acting in bad faith now, by trying to draw a parallel on how calling someone clueless (meaning lacking in certain knowledge on the topic) is the same as calling someone stupid which is a blatant insult I did not use.
- lurk2 11mo ago> meaning lacking in certain knowledge on the topic Clueless has a pejorative connotation. I am struggling to imagine how anyone would read a comment like: > because most people are as clueless as you about the reality of how things work and not interpret it to be pejorative.
