KB, The part you are referring to, I used to address those who resort to the name calling, and labeling those, including me, of being bigots, etc etc. I also used that phraseology, to emphasize how strongly I resent small minded, excuse seeking, politically motivated, closed minds, who only resort to division, instead of meaningful dialogue, whose end result, only leads to enlightenment. Let's not forget the intended hurt, these people are trying to inflict by accusing others of things that are untrue, just to shut them up, and/or discredit them. THAT, I find more offensive than my verbal re-action.
However, I do respect your opinion, and be not afraid..you are NOT IN MY CROSSHAIRS
