“blithering idiot”/”terrible bigot”: clear violations. I am offended.

Um....what?

I dated a self-described "arch-conservative." He and I are still good friends. We have so far in political discussion found literally 0 issues on which we even come close to agreeing. He was, however, neither a blithering idiot nor a terrible bigot, and he didn't prance around claiming he would never stoop so low as to date a nasty, dirty, America-hating liberal.

So Poliwanacraca's ex-boyfriend was not a blithering idiot or a terrible bigot. Am I missing something?

If you missed it, you're not the only one. The OP here is a biiiig bucket of "huh?"

I should have included the post to which the offending was a response:

The true subject of the offending post is now clear, I believe.

I'll have to agree with Kat on this one, and take it a step further and say it is questionable at best. One would have to squint hard and disregard the context of the whole thread. Of course, another mod is free to overrule my opinion.

In the mean time, I'm going to lock the thread and let someone else review it. If another mod wants to reopen, go ahead.

KoL, Kryo already had the whole thing wrapped up and tied in a big bow. No need to carry on the dispute in Moderation.

New Mitanni, reporting threads in which you've been trolling yourself is, to say the least, inadvisable.
