Cyclone Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Not at all, if I was intolerant I would most likely insult you back, but I’m not bigoted so I am happy for you to hold that opinion. If you were happy about it then why did you argue against it? This is a good example of what it is to be a bigot, you are demonstrating you intolerance of me by calling me an idiot just because I don’t share your opinion. You're statement is factually incorrect in two parts of course. Firstly I didn't call you an idiot Now you're just being an idiot I said you were being an idiot. Secondly I didn't say that because I don't share your opinion, I said it because your argument is idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yes, you did. You then accepted that you were wrong, and you're a better person for it. Clearly you don't accept my opinion, you've called me bigoted because I hold that opinion. You should go back and read my early reply to your question, I clearly stated that I thought Cleg wanted to force churches to marry people, this is why I said he was also a bigot, I later discovered he didn't want to force churches to marry people so I retracted my comment that he was also bigoted.

Cyclone Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 So if you claim that you are not being an idiot then you are a) unwilling to accept my opinion as correct and thus b) a bigot. Do you accept that you are being an idiot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I read it the first time. It wasn't what you actually said though originally was it. I would say calling people bigots because they have a different opinion would make him a bigot. It was a justification you later used so that you could retract this nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Clearly you don't accept my opinion, you've called me bigoted because I hold that opinion. No I didn't I called you a bigot because you demonstrated an intolerance toward me for holding an opinion that different to your, I haven't demonstrated an intolerance to your opinion because your opinion don’t bother me either way. It’s your opinion and you are entitled to hold it with other insulting you for holding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you accept that you are being an idiot? I'll accept for him. Yes he is being an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 You wouldn't stoop so low as to insult me, but you'll call me a bigot... It’s not an insult it’s just the word that is used to describe your intolerance toward me for holding an opinion that differs from yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 If you were happy about it then why did you argue against it? I didn't argue against it, I just pointed out that insulting me demonstrated your intolerance toward me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Secondly I didn't say that because I don't share your opinion, I said it because your argument is idiotic. So now you think my opinion is idiotic, in what way? bearing in mind it was you that confused the issue when you asked a vague question that I had already answered.
