Reply #305: But my quibble with the type we're talking about

is the lack of open-mindedness.

These are the people who will insist, for example, that all adherents of a particular religion espouse all the same beliefs as the most intolerant of the group. They will not hear otherwise, because it ruins their preconception.

Nor are they interested in hearing what someone who believes differently (that is, believes in a divinity, for example) has to say on the matter. Every post is met with essentially: "yeah, well you're a delusional nut!"

So for those few, "open-minded" is not the right descriptor, I'd think.
