I guess it does not take much for someone to be called a bigot on Goanet. All 
it takes is for an author of a post with a strange name to have a different 
opinion from that of another Goanetter with not so strange a name. And there is 
great irony in this. Please see the dictionary meaning of the word bigot below:

"bigot - a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or 
opinion."
