I wonder....do you find TK's argument compelling?
I don't know about Mac, but I'm sure glad we "targeted" the bigots...
When Religious Liberty Was Used To Justify Racism Instead Of Homophobia
[MENTION=32973]LoneLaugher[/MENTION], you continue to post directly to me, you continue to ask me direct questions, even though I have you on ignore. I wish you would stop. I admit it's not a big deal, but it's creepy, a little like being stalked. So, again, I wish you would stop. I also wish I could make it so that you can't see my posts. Please. Thanks. Last try.
[MENTION=24452]Seawytch[/MENTION], I'll try to make this as clear as I can, and I sincerely don't understand why this needs to be so difficult to grasp:
I want bigots (like those who someone based on that person's sexual orientation or skin color) beaten soundly, organically and naturally, in the court of public opinion. Within the culture. That, to me, is the best, longest-lasting (and, if I may, "most American") way to do it. Just punishing people or screaming "racist" or "homophobe" only increases animosity and does not move us forward.
I want to know who the bigots are, where they are, what they are thinking, and (perhaps most importantly) who agrees with them. Then, when they exercise their bigotry, it gives me the opportunity to (a) shine a light on them for all to see and (b) engage them in conversation. Heavy lifting, yes. But that's how you change a culture.
I don't know how much more clear I can make it than that.
Now, you can pretend that I'm a bigot because it helps you make your case, but lying to make a point really doesn't make the point, does it?

Mac............no.
I will respond to things you say as I see fit. I am not ignoring you. I am also not stalking you. If you wish to ignore questions that I have for you, that is your choice.
