This is very typical of your replies. You ask if TRP is a
bigot, but it is my statement or interpretation of his text
that you object to not anything he has written or said.  In
other words you say my statement sounds like bigotry to you.
Of course this doesn't sup rise me at all, you have accused
me of bigotry, racism, blah, blah, lots of times. The sad
thing is, in your mad rush to defend the world against
bigots, racists and American colonialism, you miss the point
being made by the post. Perhaps that is what you want? If
you read the statement above it is clear that I am not
talking about the characteristics of homosexuality. NOT
THEIR HOMOSEXUALITY but....

You really should examine why you are so quick to accuse
others of bigotry and the like. If your accusations were not
so absurd I wouldn't waste everyone's time addressing them,
but you really should examine why you do this. Another thing
to examine is why you do it here where you obviously can't
know enough about list members to make such ridiculous
accusations.
