John P BS: on leaving mudcat (42) RE: BS: on leaving mudcat 06 Apr 15


This is the exact position of a bigot. A sterling example of bigotry:
"Bigots on here get both fucking barrels, and I make no apologies. Hanging's too good for them"


There's a logical fallacy here I could drive a truck through. You sound like the so-called Christians in the United States who claim they are being discriminated against when they are told they can't discriminate against others. To put it another way: you're saying that the government is guilty of theft when it takes stolen money from the thief who took it from someone else.

Leaving the logic aside, you are making a choice that bigotry is worthy of respect, and that people who speak out against it are ethically the same as the bigots. You are taking sides with the bigots. Intolerance is bad. Intolerance of intolerance is good. Intolerance of intolerance is not intolerance. The same word means different things depending on the context and its position in the sentence. Isn't the English language wonderful?
