Finally, you keep calling me a "bigot". That silly tactic worked for Jessie Jackson ten years ago, but the party is over. I'm not going to run and hide because you call me a bigot. Tolerance of the intolerable isn't in itself a virtue, and intolerance isn't in itself bigotry.

big·ot
n.
One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ. source

It's not a "silly tactic" it's merely a statement of truth. Given how you even use the words in the dictionary.com definition, I don't expect you to run and hide - I expect you to wear the badge of bigotry proudly. You're a bigot, and you're proud of it. Celebrate it!

So you are bigoted against law and order? Isn't it enough that you want to destroy society, do you have to attack the language as well?

Wow! I'll never be offended or chastened about being called a bigot again!

bi-got - One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

You are no better at language than physics. I'm tolerating you quite well. I haven't had you imprisoned, caned, or forced to wear a dunce cap. That's tolerance.

You have confused "tolerance" with "acceptance". Intolerance would be whining to the moderator to have you removed for being so wrong. I'm happy to allow you to spout your drivel and swat it about like a whipped pup.

Better hit that definition website again.
