"When I brand someone a fool" is a short essay by Karl Jones.

When I brand someone a fool, I am judging character, judging intellect, judging critical reasoning skills.

The fool lacks critical reasoning skills.

I am qualified to judge the fool because I possess critical reasoning skills.

The fool is not qualified to judge my critical reasoning skills.

the fool judges by emotion.

Full disclosure: I too judge by emotion: the desire to insult a fool.

The ideal insult: burning Pain
White-hot brand of scorching Shame
Message scorched in meat of Brain:
Remember My Judgement!
— and let your face tell the world
your side of your story.
