Moron... Sure, why not...

"Moron" was coined in 1910 by psychologist Henry H. Goddard from the Ancient Greek word μωρός (moros), which meant "dull" (as opposed to "sharp"), and used to describe a person with a mental age in adulthood of between 8 and 12 on the Binet scale. It was once applied to people with an IQ of 51-70, being superior in one degree to "imbecile" (IQ of 26-50) and superior in two degrees to "idiot" (IQ of 0-25). The word moron, along with others including, "idiotic," "imbecilic," "stupid," and "feeble-minded," was formerly considered a valid descriptor in the psychological community, but it is now deprecated in use by psychologists.

Following opposition to Goddard's attempts to popularize his ideas, Goddard recanted his earlier claims about the moron: "It may still be objected that moron parents are likely to have imbecile or idiot children. There is not much evidence that this is the case. The danger is probably negligible."

Anyone (I mean ANYONE!!) who post with no thought or proof will receive a "MOOORON" tag so we all know they have not been paying attention to facts!

So may I ask, what tag should you receive? I asked because if we're all doing our diligent research ourselves then it shouldn't matter what anyone else post. This is saying to me that you're not doing your own research but relying on others to post something with thought or proof. Are you sir? Just saying!!
