Old People are Not Stupid, But When They Insult?

Somebody just asked me, "Does your blog turn words into sign language for deaf people?" (You can't make this up.)

AND, last week a guy was spouting off in dining room about how power chairs are Medicare scams, "...they just don't want to exercise."

Sigh, so much I could have said...these people are old, but I have know MANY "old" people and old does NOT equal STUPID.

Should I have chewed them out? Should I have responded calmly? I just ignored and kept eating, wasn't in the fighting mood. But...can't get it out of my mind.
