In my several decades, I have come across many with overly simplistic ways of thinking. I realize that not everyone has strong analytic capabilities (after all, half of all people are of below average intelligence - those that disagree with that statement are amongst them

), but some are both simple and belligerent, while fronting as though they know everything (the way teenagers often do when initially lashing out at their parents). While this is expected of those less developed, it becomes tiresome when it comes from those that should have learned better by the point in life they have reached. That is when words get blunt.
As for violence by blunt objects, that was
@mime doing the wielding, begging the question: was a blunt object actually employed when said object is an imaginary bat?
And, yes, I did see what you did there.
