Thread Name: BS: Bigots
Subject: RE: BS: Bigots
In my experience many people are called bigots when in fact a more appropriate term would be "Zealots".

Zealots tend to be intensely "for" whatever is their POV.

Bigots, in the main, tend to be intensely "against" ideas, or groups, or even individuals who fail to recognise their greater wisdom or knowledge.

I have met many more zealots than bigots, but I have always found it difficult to get on with either.

Maybe I'm the bigot, if I can't tolerate them.........?

'S a bugger innit?
