It doesn’t take a far-left sensibility to say someone is a jerk for wanting to call out individuals as repulsive to their faces for purely personal choices that have nothing to do with you. ---

> [@DerekMichaels00](#): > > Why is it weird? I like hard proof for things. Your focus on the genitalia of strangers is weird.

I haven’t followed you – I just like to post in political threads, like you do. I call you bigoted for the vile and hateful things you’ve said about trans people, as well as the personal bigotry you’ve expressed for Obama due to his ancestry, and the religious bigotry I call you ignorant because of the fact free nonsense you spout, and your refusal to admit it or try and learn from it when called upon it. Remember when [you claimed](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=19230173#post19230173) that Obama gave Caitlyn Jenner an award? When called upon it, you didn’t say “oops, that was dumb”, [you responded with](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19230590&postcount=22) the ridiculous “that tweet might as well be an award”. That was monumental idiocy, of the kind that should cause you shame. One of the lamest justifications of a factual error I’ve ever seen. I call you cowardly because you crow about your own patriotism while criticizing the patriotism of Obama and others, including servicemen who were killed in action, based on nothing more than ancestry or religion. That’s something cowards do, not patriots. You’re not slandered into a right-winger. I don’t criticize you because of your political beliefs. I criticize you because of the bigotry, ignorance, and cowardice in your posts. There are plenty of Dopers more conservative than you who don’t get ripped like you do, because they don’t routinely post bigoted, ignorant, or cowardly things. You’re a young idiot. Many people are young idiots and grow up into reasonable people. But you’re showing no signs of a desire to improve yourself, or recognize your flaws. Continue to be a bigoted, ignorant coward, if you want. Or take a long look at yourself and consider that maybe it’s wrong to have hatred for trans people and Muslims, and wrong to refuse to learn when your lack of knowledge is exposed, and wrong to malign the patriotism and love of country of others based on ancestry and religion. ---

> [@Richard\_Parker](#): > > A dissenting opinion! > > I don’t mind having \*\*iiandyiiii \*\*engage with trolls. First, not all of them are trolls. I mean, some probably are. Some probably aren’t. As much as it’s nice to believe otherwise, some people sincerely hold the opinions and post in the manner of the OP. Second, there’s a collective action problem. On any board, and this board especially, \*someone \*is going to engage racists even when they seem to be trolls. It might as well be someone smart and patient. Sincerely holding opinions and trolling are not mutually exclusive. ---

> [@DerekMichaels00](#): > > Huey Long once said “every man a king.” Now, people like you and say “every man a racist.” I don’t think you’re a “racist” because we disagree about a variety of issues. You’re a bigot because you discriminate against people who do not and have not harmed you in any demonstrable way except to challenge your myopic views of the world. ---
