    It's OK with me.  In a free society one may call a fool a fool.

      What happened, what is the background or context?

    That a person may be an idiot is your personal opinion. If it were acceptable for you to point it out, would it be acceptable if I thought someone was ugly, allowing me to point it out? You have no idea how badly I want to laugh and point at people who wear "paper clips" in their nose or eye brow. But I'm an adult, I know better, I know that's just my opinion.

    You seem to have the opinion that you may not state your opinion.   Opinions are meant to be shared.

    That's not true. There's no "rule" about sharing an opinion. But I care more about a person's feeling than I do about how much I find their face jewelry ridiculous.

    It's OK with me if you remain silent.
