You simply don't know what another person is thinking. All you have to go on is what they say, but beyond that assumptions are only projections. Insulting people or worse, condescending to them under the assumption that they are ignorant or sick and can't make reasonable judgments for themselves is the worst kind of elitism. And I WILL assume that you'd rather not come across like that. Ask yourself: would you say the things you type to a person's face? If not, then it's probably not worth typing.
I would say that to a person's face, for what it's worth. Unfortunately, my travel budget doesn't allow me to go to the houses of people from the Internet as Jay and Silent Bob did in their film...
