insulting

[ikt]

Hi,

I received an infraction for this:

I don't believe it was justified, I didn't insult the op, I said he was wrong, which he is. If telling someone they're wrong is an insult then something is wrong with this forum.

This person basically said the same thing I did except less elaborately:

Saying someone does not know what they are talking about , in the tone you used and implying they are ignorant is an insult .

I disagree.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ignorance

ignorance (plural ignorances)

1. The condition of being uninformed or uneducated. Lacking knowledge or information.

'ignorance' is not an insult, it's a statement, and they are exactly the definition of ignorant.
