"Your statement is oxymoronic" is better, because it adds an ox doing the moronic statement.

This thread and all the noise going with it was not started by me or those other users. I never said you should apologise to him, neither did OP (Gandalf) or Chethu. We were merely making an observation, and there's nothing more to it than that.

There is a difference between stating someone is something and implying they might be one. Te difference is whether you are correct or not in either or both judgements. "You are a moron." is explicit. To this, I'd say that one must first be or have had been one to know what one is, that being a moron. :laugh: :laugh: "Your statement is moronic." is implicative, that what someone has stated seems it is not valid or justified in a way upon which you are basing your judgement foundations to qualify such. To this, again, I'd say that one must first have said one to know one, what a moronic statement is. More :laugh: :laugh: Both are subjective statements. As such, both are accurate and inaccurate at the same instance. :wtf: :confused: :omg:

Doesn't matter. But if you decide to go either one way or to go the other, make sure that you use the same ... idiom ... so the debatee can ascertain your identity.

Stupid is not limited by any ideology. Nor is ignorance.

Would a sensible person make a moronic statement?

A sensible person understands of course that no one is perfect. Thus even someone who is rigorously sensible might offer an opinion without adequate knowledge, might misunderstand the discussion or might, for some specific topic have a bias that clouds the issue.
