You see, that is where you trip up.

Bigotry is a classic case of it takes one to know one. Of course I am full square 100% intolerant of his homophobic stance. I refuse to give it credence as a viewpoint and I will not rest where it is promoted. By definition, that does make me a bigot too...

Perhaps there should be other words, but I have a saying I used to use in quality control and these days use it where healthcare professionals turn a blind eye to bad practice.

To permit is to promote.

I am reminded of it when I read posts saying the worm has a legitimate viewpoint. Oh yeah? Have you thought that there are gay people on Mudcat? You think I insult you Jerk? Compared to reading his diatribe, you have never yet been insulted on this or any other thread by anyone.

The late Jake Thackray, as well as a fine songwriter, made my ears prick up with his simple phrase, "I don't, shan't and refuse to tolerate intolerance."

Floats my boat anyway. But then, I don't have the benefit of faith to help me choose who to look upon as second class citizens.
