Ahhh....but I have.  I have never, ever called anyone ignorant.  There were - are - times of course I'd like to...even now is a challenge - but I do not.  

Uninformed?  yes.  Misinformed?  yes.  But ignorant?  No.  The connotation is just too insulting, despite what the actual word may mean.

And you are wrong - again - and as usual.  My momma did say that - a woman of great dignity and class. She had an innate sense of the dignity and worth of all people...she would have even found something positive to say about you, if pushed.
