83. Your first actual comment on the issue
Yes, I do think that "mammoth" could have been handled better. The damage done is more horrible and long term then those couples on the city steps imagined. Why? Because they were to impatient to envision the consequences.

Why do I have an obvious disrespect for you personally? I claim the community suffers from a lack of political savvy in its leadership, and impatience in fulfilling short-term goals. It has also become overconfident of its social status, and dismissive of what turned out to be formidable opposition.

Now I am going to cut-and-paste. Here is your first post:

"And I call Bullshit.
Wake up and smell your bigotry. "

I have given you time and time again the chance to explain how my being tolerant of another persons beliefs could ever be considered bigotry. And yes, bigotry and tolerance are antonyms. Webster:

bigotry - extreme INTOLERANCE of any creed, belief or opinion that differs from one's own

sounds more like you than like me.
