Oh I'm not offended, but let me explain how I read the comment string. At first you were insulting the people that vapidly shared quotes. Then I questioned if that actually made them morons. Then you said that the very act of conflating 'vapid quote sharing' with 'sharing ideas' marked a person as a moron. I was the person conflating those two, not the people you were originally insulting. Doesn't that make it a personal insult? If I misread something please do correct me.

Anyway I would say that a moron is someone that is stuck at the level of simple ideas, not just someone that indulges in simple ideas from time to time.
