(14,162 posts)that in 29,631 comments which have taken considerably more than a few weeks to accomplish, you feel you have advanced yourself to the pinnacle of high rank, overshadowing the underlings of mere lowly status. I assert you have posted so many times without thought that you only see your own opinion and it's become your personal dogma; it's a blinder that keeps you from seeing logical arguments. You keep on repeating that word "bigotry" to the point that it's obvious you have an obsession with it.
As far as Oregonian and Nina7777 are concerned, they have portrayed excellent arguments, well defined and substantiated. No one needs to agree with them, but your blind obsession with your personal definition of bigotry masks any usefulness to your own argument, whatever that is.
Your posting numbers mean diddly squat. As far DU's allowance of name calling... wow, you sure missed that one in your vast experience. Oregonian's remarks were incredibly tame compared to what people get away with every day. The jury conviction is also totally meaningless as well; it's always a crap shoot, no more. And as for your remarks pronouncing your judgement of bigotry on these commenters, you are far more guilty of it than they are.
Your obsession with "bigotry" is it's own pit. I resent opinions that use displacement, exaggeration and habit to derail logical opinions because it has a way of turning away excellent thinkers who look to objectivity as an asset. Objectivity is discarded too often by subjective gobbledygook that's no different than raving fundamentalism. This subject requires more of an open mind than you seem capable of at least in this instance. That incapability disqualifies reasonable argument and seeds the very origin of bigotry itself.
Oregonian, Nina777... great job, and stick around, this place needs an injection of reason and a whole lot less bull shit.
