namepeace	"That is ignorant not to know" v. "You are ignorant" I am taking a poll. Is the first comment really less offensive than the second? Do they both mean the same thing?

They both mean the same thing. One comes out a little harsher.

Vibrator	They don´t mean the same thing. The first is saying that you´re ignorant when it comes to one specific thing whereas the second one is saying that you´re ignorant in general. So no wonder the second one comes out harsher.
