Having a different view does not make someone a moron. Why one holds certainly views could certainly mark out one as a moron. Not changing the topic, continuing to make same assertions, and not addressing the rebuttals also marks one out as another type of equally lamentable moron.
Of course he's going to assert something different than you because he believes differently than you. Doesn't make either of your morons. It makes you two people disagreeing based on your own understanding. If you call someone names, it's less likely to have them listen to your view, but rather cinch up on what they are saying already. You could be brilliant, but how can he see your idea when it's not the highlight of your statements? I get that it can be "fun" to call names sometimes. Heck, I do it with friends for kicks, but we understand the context of why we're doing it, but when you want to change someone's view, your gotta make them want to listen to you. Most of the time you do that by loving them regardless of what we see as their flaw(s). Just my two cents.
