Please stop being stupid.

Please stop being rude.

Note: we have community norms against exactly one of these.

I've seen plenty of upvoted comments along the lines of "I'm not very smart (score below 100 on IQ tests) but want to understand this point - can someone explain it more simply?". Stupidity is not punished, though it's possible that many of its effects are.

Good point. I was equivocating technical stupid (scores low on IQ test) with colloquial/slangy stupid (not putting a lot of mental effort into comments, irrational, and/ or obtuse).
