Back to the original post, the bigot everyone is referring to is clearly looking for attention, so probably the best way to discourage him/her is to ignore and not engage with the drivel he/she spouts. As far as meeting people like that in The Villages, they are everywhere in our society. I have personally met at least 2 people like that in TV. They're nice enough when you start talking with them, but involve alcohol or some other trigger, they go off on the racist/bigot rants and you see what you're dealing with.

That's what I said, if you read it all. I am sorry if my means of communicating my thoughts are not quite so intelligible or coherent. My suggestion was that anyone that does not like, condone or appreciates a group, is considered a bigot by the left. But, I also said that in order to be a bigot, there is a requirement of being intolerant. I'm sorry if I did not make my thought on the matter clear enough for some to make sense of it.
And I believe that I DO have a "grip" on it.
I guarantee that if I was to disparage Trump or berate the Republicans, there would be no one on here calling me a bigot. If I was to demean the church or Christianity, there would be no protest from the left, but there would be if I was to suggest a negative thought regarding the Muslim/Islamic faith.
A "bigot" is all in the eyes of the beholder and most of the beholders are on the left, in this case. I have never ever heard a conservative call anyone a "bigot." I have heard them call Obama a racist, and I have also. And I still believe it.
