PS. Lyman - he didn't call the pilot a moron, he said that the response to the situation was incompetent. The former is a personal insult whereas the latter is a tragic fact - it's important to be aware of the difference.
Indeed ... it's politically or diplomatically correct ....
But what do you think (first thinkink) about people who are making incompetent decision ?
They are "moron" ... or "smart" people ?
So I understand that Lyman can use the word "moron"
