81. You're Sending Mixed-Signals...
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 12:01 PM by arwalden
Perhaps I'm just too "DENSE" to understand what you're trying to say, Kitka. Who are you accusing of being a bigot? What exactly are you trying to say?

I was annoyed at the crybaby whining of the original post and so I posted a snarky response that included a Crying Lucy image. You issued a brief, sharp, and snarky response of your own that would lead reasonable people to believe that you thought my reply was immature. To which I suggested that you simply cope.

Now you respond by telling me that "I always do when I see bigotry." That's a very interesting statement... but it's so ambiguous. What exactly does it mean?

Is this a non-sequitur comment that's crafted for dramatic effect? What bigotry do you have to cope with? If you "always cope" whenever you see bigotry, then that seems to be implying that you are the "victim" of the bigotry. I presume you're referring to the rampant anti-Christian bigotry that's sweeping the DU and the nation.

Or or are you implying that you perceive me as being the source of the bigotry with which you must cope? Maybe you intended to respond to someone else? --- We just don't know what you meant. It's not clear. Can you explain?

It's not hard to see that the anger and scorn directed towards zealot Christians is very distressing for many around here. We all know that DU certainly has more than its fair share of hypersensitive individuals. --- But ya know... there are many people on DU (and throughout this country) who would happily trade places with those overwrought "persecuted" people. What a relief it would be to know that someone else's low opinion of their religion was the WORST of all their problems.
