I get frustrated with it, yes, especially when someone is using ignorance either as an excuse or in a harmful way. People ignorant of animal care or basic humane treatment should not own horses, for example. Someone in a work group totally ignorant of basic grammar rules or the subject at hand can make me angry, of course, but often that isn't their fault.
But just not understanding something or believing in something I find silly? Not that bothersome.
