Anytime anyone uses the word bigot, or accuses another of that, I consider the source using it with much suspicion as it's commonly used by cults as a tactic to intimidate those opposing them...not to mention a favorite for liberals. And if Mormons don't want to be lumped into one group then they need to show they have a mind and will that doesn't tow their LDS line. I haven't once heard or seen a Mormon who doesn't.

Labeling your opponent a "bigot" is the ultimate rhetorical mudball--a classic slur intended to silence and intimidate rather than to facilitate an exchange of ideas.

Though RACIST works pretty well; too.

The TRICK is to provoke the other person, get them OFF the topic you wish to avoid, and make THEM go into defensive mode; trying to prove to unseen assumed LURKERS that you really are NOT the way you’ve just been accused of being!

IGNORE vapid accusers, and press on to victory!
