You're making the perfect asshole's case and you don't even notice. That's not a tease, if you followed what is going on. It's simply defending bigots taking that semantic road out of taking responsibility. That's what I meant by apathy and complecency.
This is what I said to FNM:

And yes, it was supposed to be a bit of a tease. I wasn't trying to argue with him or his point. You're the one freaking out over semantics, not me. I'm sorry you're so quick to dismiss me and take that comment as me defending bigots.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
