55. APOLOGY

Having been responsible for the above deleted message (#23) I must apologize for violating the rules. I am informed that we should limit our criticism to *ideas*, not individuals.

Having reviewed the rules I can see that rather than saying the poster "is a b*g*t" I should have said that the *idea* of calling for the condemnation of a woman for having an abortion or enjoying kinky sex is a "bigoted idea," or "an idea broadly associated with bigots," or "is an ideal clue if I'm ever on the $20,000 Pyramid and the answer is 'things a bigot might say.'"
