And I never once said mean people are smart. You're the one that keeps throwing that out there. This topic is about an average intelligence mean person vs a simply stupid person. A mean stupid person is not one of the options.

Your whole "all mean people are the REAL stupids" is... extremely simplistic and devoid of real life experience. A regular mean person is someone that typically has some logical reasons to be grumpy that aren't that hard to work around. A stupid mean person is a lot harder to deal with, which is who you seem to keep bringing up, but the core issue is their stupidity, not just being mean.

You definitely implied it. Which is why I said even what I said initially. I am not the one that threw that out there. You said :

Mean people tend to only be that way with stupid people around.

You quite literally blame stupid people for supposed mean people.

That is not what was said though. Mean people generally do not have entirely logical reasons for being mean. In many cases it's hyper defensiveness, can simply be psychological deviancy, any other type of disorders that can lead to them misbehaving. There is a difference between someone being grumpy for the day and a person that IS mean. A stupid and mean person can exist, but that's not what was asked in the topic. It was asked if you'd rather deal with someone that is stupid or mean. Just because they aren't mutually exclusive doesn't mean a question can't be asked about the scenarios where they are-- which is what the topic is about.
