Sadly though, many people are proud of it, as if there's some cachet about it. Some "cool" factor that marks them apart from the herd for daring to be different. The most common one on here is when Facebook or Twitter is mentioned. Some berk will invariably pontificate that it's a load of rubbish and generally sad that people use it. As opposed to a simple "I don't use it" or not saying anything.
It's rather pathetic, to be honest.

That's not what I meant though, that's fair enough, it's a valid opinion that using Twitter for that "event" seemed a bit pointless. What I'm referring to is the "Deliberate Luddite" who'll lambast something for no other reason than they don't use it, or understand it.
Sensitive about being a big twitterer?It's rather pathetic, to be honest.

I'm not proud of ignorance about anything, but there are an awful lot of things that I don't have any interezt at all in, celebs, the majority of reality tv shows, the hidden depth of facebook (I can find usefulness in twitter though), pop music, fashion, the latest phones, male grooming, religion, are just a few of the thing I don't care about. Well not enough to moan about them anyway.

On a forum full of people who appear to try to be better and more knowledgeable than others, what things are you proud to be ignorant of?
Me - Celebrity culture and everything associated with it. I don't usually watch live TV, and can't be happier whenever I haven't got a clue what a Kerry Katona is or what the f

Same here. I have no idea who 99% of the people referred to on the Daily Mail site are (I only ever go there because of Soovy's posts, honest!).Me - Celebrity culture and everything associated with it.

Rumsfeld would suggest that there are both known and unknown unknowns, though.
So you might know some of what you are ignorant of, but be ignorant of other ignorances.
(I am confusing myself now - so clearly I don't know if/how the female mind works either).
