You know them all well enough to simply say in general, with no qualification, that they are "a bunch of dumbasses"? If not, then that's broad-brushing....from you and the person who originated that sentiment. Do you leave open the possibility that some of them are quite intelligent and accomplished people, or do you simply label them as a "bunch of dumbasses" because of ONE thing that they did, out the entirety of their lives?
And whether I think or say they're dumbasses or not is irrelevant, since I haven't been strutting pompously around the threads in this group, scolding and upbraiding people for insulting and denigrating others for their religious beliefs, as if I'd never done it. The search for hypocrisy begins at home.
