Ignorance isn't a noun, you ignorantness.
Nomad (01-26-2021)
Ignorance is quite definitely a noun. It would be ignorant that would not be a noun. That would be an adjective.
I assume Nomad had wanted to say either, "because you ARE the ignorant one", or "because you ARE ignorant." From the context, it was easy to understand, for those of us that are not ignorant.
From the link that you quoted me:
ignorant adjective
ig·no·rant | \ ˈig-n(ə-)rənt \
Definition of ignorant
1a: destitute of knowledge or education

Other Words from ignorant
ignorantly adverb
ignorantness noun
Nomad can't respond so groans the post where I destroyed him lol.
The way I used it was as a figure of speech.
Adjectives can be used as nouns when referring to a group of people who share a trait.
For example: "Only the Strong survive".
Strong is an adjective but in this case it's used to refer to a group of people.
Or that old Roy Orbison song "Only The Lonely".
Or China Joe is a long standing member of the ignorant.
Lonely is an adjective but once again, it can be used to describe a group of people and is a common manner of speaking as well as a literary device.

Typical and not surprising that a semi-literate slob like Dork Hole wouldn't understand that.
C'MON MAN!!!!
Our "China Joe" poster is obviously extraordinarily stupid.
Further engagement would be casting pearls at swine.
