Insults? Insults are in the eye of the beholder. People sometimes don't think what they say will be perceived as insulting, but their words can be insulting none the less. I am not immune from either side of this thought.
Your words can be taken as insulting also. You are saying above that the person you're conversing with, and most likely myself also, are not thinking for ourselves but only parroting ideologues, while you with your self proclaimed intelligence are a profound thinker.
Being "in the middle" is sort of boring at a minimum, in my opinion. You either have a conviction, or you don't.
