I have seen some really freaky posters on FR over the years, but I have to tell you, I think you win the prize for biggest lunatic. Seriously, you are scary. I fully expect to one day turn on the news and see you on it. Have you looked at your own past posts? Maybe if you did, you would see how really crazy you are. I don’t know whether to fear you or feel sorry for you.

You are a bigot, you have obsessive compulsive disorder, you are filled with hate and rage. I imagine you have no friends and everyone that knows you calls you the crazy kook.

Just take a stroll back through your past posting history. You don’t just hate Mitt Romney, you HATE HATE HATE HATE Mormons and you are absolutely obsessed with them for some reason. The question is why. If I was a Mormon, I would be very afraid of you and probably report you as someone to keep an eye on.

Look at your past posts, maybe it will help you realize that you really do need some help.

Colofornian, bashing Mormons for at least 6 years. I didn’t go back past 2006. You are scary, really scary. I forwarded your posting history to several people and they were all just in shock. I was ashamed to even let them know I frequent this site.

ALL: (Thanks for the platform post):

"Bigot" is etymologically tied to "Beguines."

It was used abusively in French for the Beguines, members of a Roman Catholic lay sisterhood, with the meaning of attaching "excessive devotion" to this sisterhood...(yeah, the devoted do get slapped around a bit).

So, “bigot” in its original usage was tied to perceived intolerance. (I don’t know if the Beguines were actually intolerant or not). The Beguines were probably at least perceived as practicing "spiritual one-upsmanship"--and others didn't like it--they felt looked down upon. Perhaps they felt scorned because such sisterhoods tended to isolate themselves more and because of that, the Beguines perhaps were perceived as being spiritually snooty ("we don't like how excessively devoted they are").

But to wind this back to what I said. "Bigot" is originally tied to "excessive devotion." I suppose it's possible that the Beguines were indeed "excessively devoted." (It's also just as possible that the other Catholics' perception was largely wrong...but once a reputation develops...). But let's just say they were excessively devoted.

The ad-hominem label-slinging is all some posters have...they simply weren't equipped to ever discuss content...so name-slinging it is...

But for those who wish to insist on a contemporary usage of that term -- that "bigot" means "intolerant" -- then you need to answer a simple question once raised by FREEPER Osage Orange:

* Aren't some posters showing religious intolerance toward us?
* On what grounds is their "intolerance" so "allowable" [and therefore elitist], whereas anyone else's perceived "intolerance" is called into question?

Amen! Such hatred towards Mormons is not Christian.

Well, wait... I think one could say that I absoultely DESPISE President Narcissus Obama.

Despise is a form of hate.

But do good Christians love their enemies? No, they fight them — and in fighting someone, you harbor feelings of hate.

That said, one could safely say that there is less reason to hate Mormons for some of their values (polygamy, etc.) than there are to hate someone who wants to kill you (e.g. Islamofascists) or steal your property (Socialist Obama).

These hateful Obama trolls need to learn when it is proper to hate (evil socialists) and when it is irrational to hate (Mormons who have different beliefs that don’t threaten you).

Maybe if you did, you would see how really crazy you are. I don’t know whether to fear you or feel sorry for you.

You are scary, really scary.

So scary you went hunting for more!!! Who are you trying to impress? YOU FAILED BIG TIME!

I forwarded your posting history to several people and they were all just in shock.

LOL!! Shocked to learn what you didn't know - or shocked to learn how UNTEACHABLE you are? That is always a give away... 'the me and everyone else' routine.

I was ashamed to even let them know I frequent this site.

Oh please, anyone posting what you just did isn't ashamed of anything! Not even ashamed of looking as a retard/unteachable!

Reminder The homos scribbled HATE on Chick fil A restaurant.

When you grow up you might want to tackle what hate is - and it is NOT exposing evil. Anyone who embraces evil - hates for it to be exposed. Go check your oil.
