For a professed Christian, your reply was insulting.

A Christian professes Christ crucified. I am insulted ny many Christians every day, as I watch their lives...

Demean implies you are correct in your assumptions and bigotry. Ignorance can be cured. Stupid is...

WVKayaker: “Demean implies you are correct in your assumptions and bigotry.”

No. Demean means to treat others poorly, without the dignity fellow FReepers deserve in a civil society and polite forum. Even if you and others think I’m a “jackass” for opposing the legalization of drugs, it doesn’t justify personal attacks on my intelligence.

dcwusmc is very concerned about following the exact letter of the law. Well, there’s a board rule against personal attacks. I can handle the insults. I’m simply pointing them out, because this is supposed to be a polite forum. Calling me a “jackass” doesn’t improve the weight of his arguments.
