Excellent point, Jack. I've long been advising anyone here who is willing to listen that calling someone a "bigot", a "racist", a "sexist", a "Nazi", a "nigger", a "homophobe" or some other common contemporary Anti-Christ label like that serves no useful purpose in a discussion, it only makes the other person angry and retaliatory, and it leads to further abusive postings on both sides...as the label itself IS a hate/fear/shock & awe/intimidation tactic and has brought any chance of having a productive conversation to a crashing END.

I've advised Chongo of that also...but he doesn't listen. ;-D Chimps, like some people, are very hard to reach when they've got their minds absolutely set on having a fight about something.
