Laura did something on the radio.

I thought that something was so stupid that I called her a moron.

I did not comment on what gender or race or group of any kind she’s in.

I called her a moron as an individual for an individual action she took.

You call that bigoted.

That, my friend, makes you so woefully ignorant of the meaning of the word “bigot” that it puts you in the moron class yourself. I’m sorry, that’s just the way it is.

If you think criticizing someone’s individual behavior makes you a “bigot” then you don’t know what the word means and you are so far removed from logical analysis that you are a moron.

You can disagree with me for criticizing Laura. You can say the word “moron” is too harsh to describe what she did. You can even say she did nothing wrong at all and make a case for that.

You can even call ME a moron for calling HER a moron.

But if I say what she did was moronic and then you say my criticism of her shows bigotry then you sir are a moron.

There’s no way around that.

Buy yourself a dictionary. Look up the word. Try to educate yourself out of your current moronic predicament. I have a feeling in your case your moron status is curable.

She did something that put her at risk of harm, which shows a lack of judgment, similar to walking through Harlem at 3am while obliviously counting a large wad of cash in her hands.

This does not mean I personally object to her using whatever word or phrase she wants to.
