    I am INTENSELY interested in discussing racism, bigotry, hatred, homophobia, etc., and precisely BECAUSE I've had those labels pinned on me with no basis in fact whatsoever!

    Would you like to discuss these issues, Rosie...or would you prefer to continue obsessing about Trump and stereotyping people about whom you have no clue whatsoever? :-)

  •  And of course, you're in the best position to decide what's best for all of us out here that simply won't buy into the elitist tripe. There's no reason to back down or back away. There are too many people in this society that fall into name calling whenever they encounter the least amount of resistance. It happens when you are bereft of a sustainable argument.

  • Difference between bringing something up and being patronizing about it. I think those people you talk about are probably smart enough to know that difference.
