Maybe you thought you were being charitable, but you weren't. When an

scare quotes to imply that maybe he wasn't actually stupid at all is not
being charitable.

If I had not put it in quotes, someone would have criticized me for calling
him an idiot. So it doesn't really matter.

You could have left out the word entirly. You could have said
"self-described idiot". You could have simply not posted, since you had
already posted the link in this thread. So many things you could have done
which would not make you look like a tool.

In any case, since when is the amount of criticism you receive for a post
the only thing that matters? For a guy who supposedly doesn't care what
anyone thinks about him, you sure seem to make a big deal about it.
