Bigot:

a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.

Like someone who flags people who don't like the new logo? People like that, @sneak?

Bigot:

So no, I do not believe a person flagging someone on a platform that is designed to have upvotes and "downvotes" (flags). If sneak were going around flagging all women regardless of content, I would call that bigotry.

Flagging someone for content you disagree with merely out of content but without regards to race or ethnicity is called using the system. It just happens that sneak has a more impactful vote with his delegated power than most users would.

what about falging people who believe that vaccinations are linked to the increase of autism ?
surly that must count as bigotry

Stop calling me surly.

haha surly seems to fit : )
Its just one of those happy errors.
Surely you won't take offense to it?

😆😜....you're subtle @schattenjaeger. Wait...are you guys all posting these marvelous respond as your super high reps protect you from rebuttal?

Too late I replied already without thinking of repercussion......oh well. Up-Voted for Fabulous Observations

I pretty much also dislike the new logo. But can't make me a bigot.

yea but liking something or not is nothing to with bigotry. Bigotry is about attitude and behavior
