It wasn't meant as an insult. I've known guys that have similar views as you and they were well educated too. One in particular is probably the smartest person I've ever worked with or known on a personal level, but he was one seriously f***** up dude.
His common sense was non-existent. It was as if the human condition escaped him.
I don't care if it is an insult. Your views on common sense and being in touch with the human condition mean nothing to me.
