A polite bigot is a bigot nonetheless. A true warrior knows that courteous words do not dilute the poison, but only serve to conceal it until it has spread. Civility in the service of hate deserves no polite response.
@coachgowron Polite bigotry is akin to a shine on a turd. It still reeks and still contains harmful bacteria. It just occurred to me that polite bigotry is almost an oxymoron.
