That isn't name calling, that is providing an opinion about your
actions. I don't know if you deliberately misinterpreted my comments
the first time (the bit about racist homophobes) but you kept on after
I explicitly clarified them. That, in my opinion, is dickish behavior.

Of course it is an opinion, the statement is about Rand Paul's
opinion. Jesus, Jerry. Do I really need to put "in my opinion" after
every god damn thing I say? "Jupiter is classified as a Gas Giant" is
a statement of opinion. If I say, "no, it is a brown dwarf star", I'm
trying to state an (incorrect) fact. That truthfulness can be figured
out. Rand Paul has an opinion and his opinion is that private business
should be able to discriminate. My opinion is that he is wrong. That's
what I said again and again. The "period" part is that it isn't
complicated and most people out there seem to agree. You try and
obfuscate the issue all you want. I'm starting to think it is a
strategy to divert attentio
