Excuse me. I never said you called anyone a bigot. I specifically said:
"You were the one that made comments about possible bigotry,"
You did. Sorry if the questions are uncomfortable or difficult for you
to answer. Might I suggest that if you don't like such questions, you
don't make such stupid insinuations to begin with?
Just a suggestion.
