DougR:

Your drooling sarcasm is showing. The only use of the word ignoral on this thread appears to be your own. But I did coin it as a back formation from ignorance. Sorry if the meaning is not self-evident. Puzzle on it a while and perhaps you will sort it out. It means an act of wilful or intentional ignoring, as distinguished from simply not knowing some fact or other. Intentional rather than incidental ignorance. It's what you bring to bear when the subject of Bush's follies is brought up, for example. A handy word, but no, nothing scholarly about it. I am not a scholar, just a widely curious and widely (if shallowly) read sorta guy.

Martin: you are fabricating false realities again, pal. Grow up, won't you?
