Quote: "This is a computer games site, and Turing is a major part of computer history that also flows into computer games. Solving puzzles, and AI. It would be akin to be a soccer player, and not knowing the big soccer star names. So you have to add that to your examples."
For what it's worth, I thought you made a very good and valid point there. The reason I say I wouldn't judge people on ignorance is because my country is rife with it (well, amongst my generation and the current one at least. I was the only person in my Grade 9 history class who had even heard of Stalin). So I got used to it long ago. Also, I learned to listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant because they too have their stories (I'm gonna pretend those last words are my own).

Again, for what it's worth, I never thought you were scolding them. I get where you were coming from but I suppose it's different for those "on trial". Sorta like if someone started talking about how they couldn't believe that some people never watched the news and I was in the room. Whether they meant it offensively or not, I'd feel a little defensive nonetheless. Okay, I wouldn't act on it now but that's only because life gave me quite a few beatings (I tend to learn the hard way).
Guess what I'm saying is well, I get where both sides - no not really "sides" but I can't think of the word now - are coming from.
Man I'm really too verbose (and this is my post after whittling it down by 50%).
