Yes, sorry bb. It was the exchange with DougR I was thinking of.

I still don't think what you're describing is bigotry. It's not the same as saying that "ALL Moslems are terrorists" or any other spurious religious analogy you care to make.

Either "demicrap" is bigoted, in which case Amos certainly is a bigot, or it is not, in which case it should not bother you. Since it obviously hits close to home, maybe you need to look at your statement that Amos is not a bigot.

Let me be perfectly clear. It's insulting, petty, small-minded, puerile, and a lot of other things to use the term "democrap." It is not bigotry. I object to many things besides bigotry, so I don't see why you think I should have no problem with anything that is not bigotry.

It seems to me from this, bb, that you think "bigotry" means "anything the accuser finds objectionable." That's not what it means, so maybe in your own patronizing words, "you need to look at your statement that Amos is a bigot."
