hate mail! Hate on me haters! yeah I'm a bigot.
"Sorry, but I had to remove you because otherwise I might say something unkind - you're just too politically extreme and kooky for me. Maybe if you stopped pushing your extreme agenda on the rest of the world and trying to force others to adhere to your views, you'd do better socializing in a society that doesn't, and never will, conform to your utopic delusions. For me, this is as bad as any other form of bigotry, and you have a chip on your shoulder the size of Texas for some reason. Get help."
Oh you might say something unkind, might you?
This got me thinking -- am I a bigot? If a bigot is a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion, yep, that's me. I'm intolerant of sexism. I'm intolerant of racism. I'm intolerant of ableism. I'm intolerant of cissexism, heterosexism, classism, ageism -- any paradigm that oppresses. Gotta problem? hate on, and I'll take it as a sign that I'm being effective in my rejection of oppression. Like I told this one, I hate to be tolerated. If you dislike me, cut me out of your life. I won't be offended; I'll appreciate your honesty.
