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.
Negative opinion in itself is not bigotry. It becomes bigotry when the opinion is formed in absence of knowledge.
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
Yes I made a few sharp posts, but when it appeared personal or not substantiated, I would rephrase or apologize, as your examples show.
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.
I was not “allowed”? Here, I say it: There are posts that my fellow Catholics make that lack substance and are hostile to Protestants; that is, they are objectively bigoted. What was in the heart of the poster I of course don’t know but I wish they were not made.
Besides, there are several rhetorical mistakes that I wish the Catholic did not make. Posting caricatures is not helping the serious debate; Protestants do it often but Catholics should know better. Posting excerpts from the founders of the Reformation (typically to show they devotion to Mary) ignores the fact that to a Protestant a reference to tradition even his own does not work. Complaining about sharply worded posts and trying to get the thread locked should not be done. The caucus model is overused. We are not perfect, far from it, and neither am I prefect.
