If you want to put up some examples, I will address them.
Before that, we need to address the content of your argument/position. From there, we can proceed in a reasonable fashion.
(1) So you want to compare Hate/Bigotry between the pro-gay marriage crowd and the pro-Chick-Fil-A/anti-gay marriage (i.e. bigots--in a bad way) crowd?
With some modification to my qualifiers, this comparison is basically your goal--as expressed through your three questions above the pictures.
(2) You list some examples of some tweets by about 10 people, who are assumed to be the of pro-gay marriage crowd (it is possible that they're fake accounts). Anyway, do you think this sample is representative of the entire gay marriage crowd?
(2a) If yes, please argue why it is representative of the entire gay marriage crowd.
(Then please realize that you're exhibiting sample bias, which in turn means that your position on the entire gay marriage crowd would be false. In other words, your poor evidence would fail to support what you're insinuating with your question: "Who are the real haters?" --Apparently, only a few people. Big deal, amirite?).
(But the most accurate answer to that question would be the neo-Nazis, or the Top 10 Player Haters Hall of Fame. It's a toss-up between those two groups).
(2b) If no, then what's the point? About ten people of a group are being mean? Since that's true for almost all groups, then we can reasonably reject/ignore your post. <shrugs>
Next, we'll compare the general positions of each group, and see which one is bigoted--in a bad way. Wait, we already did that
here, and the conclusion so far is that the anti-gay marriage crowd, who base their reasoning on Christianity, are bigoted in a bad way. Feel free to overcome the main obstacles
here. Until then, they're reasonably deemed as bigoted--in a bad way.
and we are already clear that from a pro-gay marriage position,
every religious person is a bigot....starting....NOW!!!!
Since you failed to acknowledge or address the first question, then I'll assume that you agree with its presentation of your goal. And, you ignored the question for #2b, so that's strike one and two.
(re: underlined) I didn't say that. I said, "the anti-gay marriage crowd, who base their reasoning on Christianity, are bigoted in a bad way." And then we provided, in accordance with CC-standards, a reasonable series of arguments which supports that conclusion (note: this is a reasonable example of providing evidence in support of one's claims). Anyway, my quote does not say that "every religious person is a bigot" unless you truly think that anyone, who (1) is against gay marriage and (2) uses Christianity to justify this stance, includes "every religious person." (A) Do you really think so? (if you say yes, you admit to being nonsensical).
(B) Have you made an honest mistake in interpreting my post, or are you intentionally twisting my words?
Phatscotty wrote:My answer to your question is no, and I would add "Of course not!" PFF wtf? who the hell thinks that way? That because someone shows an example, someone else assumes they are calling out every single person on the planet, and not just the 10 people I demonstrated as bigots, and in today's confusion, "real bigots".
I think the thing that most people would most ignore would be your assertion that because I show 10 examples I am talking about the views of an entire population. That's like the dumbest thing ever, and I feel shame for even responding to such stupidity.
(C) Since you admit that the evidence which you provided is insufficient--in regard to your questions, then what was the purpose of your questions?
(D) You implied that the goal of your questions was to compare bigotry/hate across these two groups, but obviously and you also admit, that your evidence has failed to do so. So, what's the purpose of your post?
(E) Nevertheless, even if you don't agree that a valid comparison was your goal, what was the purpose of your post?

(1) "Do you see anyone at Chik-Fil-A saying anything remotely close to this?" + (2) "who are the real haters?" + (3) "Time to call a spade a spade!" (F) Are you aware of what your questions imply?
Here's what they imply to me. (1) 'The supporters/customers of Chik-Fil-A don't say such mean things. Prove me wrong, (which is difficult because sufficient empirical evidence is either lacking or not worth it finding).'
(Why is it not worth it? Because the standard of evidence which PS gave (~10 tweets) is complete crap, which he admitted; therefore, no one will take him seriously. Nevertheless, he expects people to take him seriously--which to me is ridiculous, and is proper grounds for labeling him a dick.).
(2) 'Ah-ha! So the real haters are not the Chick-Fil-A people, but apparently... Ooooo, (a) the pro-gay marriage crowd, (b) the crowd who admonished the activities of those who support anti-gay marriage businesses, or (c) only the people mentioned in the tweets are the real haters.'
Some people don't take PS seriously due to his (un)intentional ambiguity. You can't argue against this if he can easily change positions, which makes him appear incoherent to us but correct in his mind. This (un)intentional ambiguity plus the inevitable shifting tactics is a common occurrence with PS and a fine example of PS on the verge of being a dick).
(3) "Time to call a spade a spade" = stop being hypocrites.
Who's being a hypocrite? It's unclear from the ambiguity of the second question, but obviously, if PS poses this question to this community, then he's definitely blaming someone--and for poor reasons too. (Thus, another example of PS being a dick).
If you don't respond to these questions A through F, all of which are important for us to accurately understand you, then my previous description of you will hold true. Phatscotty, this is a rare opportunity for you to convince me to temporarily discontinue my Phatism Awareness Campaign and also temporarily treat you with respect--on the condition that while on BBS-sanctioned parole, you exhibit good behavior.
