I never claimed anything in general about Catholics on FR; quite possibly some Catholics posts are bigoted as well. But I insist that acute dislike and contempt for Protestant theology and methods is not bigoted by definition, so long as the poster points out the facts he dislikes. Of course the same is true with respect to Catholicism, or the race relations or what have you. Negative opinion in itself is not bigotry. It becomes bigotry when the opinion is formed in absence of knowledge.
Yes I made a few sharp posts, but when it appeared personal or not substantiated, I would rephrase or apologize, as your examples show.
No, you were not the RC at issue, but were not allowed to even say some Catholics posts were bigoted as well. Not a bit was ever posted on FR was the affirmed reply, in the eye of the beholder.

A good definition. Here you have done two things the poster at issue would not. I would add it is bigotry when the opinion is maintained in the light of clear consistent evidence. http://www.battlefield315.com/2011/03/liberal-universities-explained.html

Example singular, and yes you did, while I really do not make this a big deal as the kitchen gets hot, unless someone makes false charges as to evidences, but the extreme claim and or whining lack of objectively led me to get involved.
