Let’s all hope [http://www.stronghealth.com/vasectomyproject/myths.cfm](http://www.stronghealth.com/vasectomyproject/myths.cfm) helps shatter some of the myths about blanks.

I have seen you react so negatively when somebody, for example, makes a nasty crack about “Republicans” without any qualifiers, that I’d have thought you’d be the last person to defend offensive stereotyping and generalizations of the sort that **tim** ’s complaining about.

Hmmm…wait until someone says the word “fundy”, then see how he reacts.

I like the fact that you are a blatant idiot, rather than being subtle about it. We are discussing bigotry, and not so-called hate speech. But I am consistent about both issues — if no one can be a bigot about blanks, then no one should be a bigot about bigots (sub for “blank”); likewise, if no one can use a pejorative term about blanks, then no one should be allowed to use a pejorative term about Christian fundamentalists (sub for “blank”). If “fundy” is out, so is “hand-stabber”. And that’s what I said before.
