do you agree with this proverb?

"only a fool responds to another fool"

Update:

Deist, I would agree that both would apply given different situations. I think I answered my own question.lol

    TO answer or not to answer.... that's the question.

    Pro_26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

    Pro_26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

    If we fools didn't respond to each other, there would be NO chat rooms on the Internet.

    Yes, i'll give you an example, when God said Deu 5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

    Deu 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. When the fool priest do this their fool members respond amen.
