Thats a rather odd interpretation. Are you saying that us atheists are all idiots if we don't convert after you admonish us twice?
A better interpretation would be "don't waste your time, the guys too smart for you".

Spot on. It reminds me of a verse in Proverbs which says something similar in that if you argue with a fool, after a while you begin to give him a certain degree of credibility in that their views are even worth arguing. You then make yourself look like a fool after a while.

If I thought you were an idiot I wouldn't waste my time.
But I just may be wasting my time if you're too smart for me. 😉

Yes. I remember that verse going on in here once. I looked it up. Makes perfect sense.
