But you may as well walk up to someone on the street and say, "Hey Stupid, how ya doing?" and expect to get a handshake in response. It certainly has no place in civil conversation, and as far as I am concerned, you may as well be wearing a button that says, "I am a bigot." bigot –noun a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

I go out of my way to avoid calling individuals names on this board. If you see that little play on words as offensive and feel I should be wearing a bigot button for it, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

But I get one too. In my opinion you are part of society's obsession with political correctness, and you're always offended about one thing or another.
