This is, in the words of the Specialist, manifest bullshit. In point of
fact, I didn't say I discriminated against people who discriminate; I
just disagree with them. I've known the Specialist for about two years
and have known his intense hatred of homosexuality for almost that long;
I don't agree with his opinion, he doesn't agree with mine, but that
doesn't mean we've stopped associating with each other or respecting the
other one's opinion & judgments (even - gasp! - when there's a
disagreement).
It sounds to me like you think I can't be prejudiced against anyone
else who's prejudiced, because then I would be prejudiced against
myself. By this logic, I must have to agree with everyone who says
things I don't agree with. This doesn't work to begin with. And if you
think I have no grounds for "discriminating" against members of the
American Nazi party or the KKK, you are the one who needs to re-examine
your thinking -- not me.
