Dunno. Couldn't find "bigorty" in the dictionary.

Yes, I transposed two letters.

I think it is fairly obvious what word I was using but I guess I have given you more create than you have earned.

What you said is the definition of bigotry

Actually, it's not.

Main Entry: big·ot·ry
Pronunciation: 'bi-g&-trE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -ries
1 : the state of mind of a bigot
2 : acts or beliefs characteristic of a bigot

Main Entry: big·ot
Pronunciation: 'bi-g&t
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle French, hypocrite, bigot
: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
- big·ot·ed /-g&-t&d/ adjective
- big·ot·ed·ly adverb

Pointing out that someone acts like a creationist does not make me a bigot.  Saying said person, because he is a creationist, has a subpar intelligence would be bigoted, but I didn't say that.
