"it still does not give anyone the right to call another person 'stupid' whether their actions make sense to others or not....."

rockchick...*sigh*....you say you read my post, yet you seem to ignore everything I said as disclaimers and proceed to make your point over again.

I agree it is not nice to CALL someone stupid to their face. That is obvious. But it is NOT correct that some folks ways of doing things ".... are just as valid as anyone else's,"...witness Rapaire's story above...or unplugging the fax/copier. Some ways of doing things are ineffective, dangerous....and just plain stupid - whether we we say so to their face or not. If you fire someone who smokes around gasoline or gunpowder, you WILL be justified in explaining it to others as 'avoiding the results of stupidity'.
