I tend to use words like that in response to other people's bitching
about my ingredient lists. Although most people are actually sheeple,
now that I think about it.

I just tell you (plural) what's in some of the supermarket horrors I
see mentioned here. How can that ever hurt anyone? If you still want
to eat it, at least you know what you're eating. And if you suddenly
start to grow tits on your back or a third testicle, you'll have an
idea why.

I don't think there are any simpletons in this newsgroup. We're all
able to read and write well, which means we're all part of the 10% or
so elite of our countries

Nevertheless, without the simpleton vote Trump would never have been
elected. Doesn't mean only simpletons voted for him.
