CyberNat comment of the day

Posted by Scottish Unionist at 8:26 PM. There are 2 comments.
Someone calling himself dude, presumably from Wishaw, has this peculiar view of this blog:
AM2 your blog is not only racist and selective it is also an outlet for your obvious bigotry of the orange flavour, we dont need your kind in Scotland so go home to your beloved England or NI, begone you bigot.
I’ve seen numerous comments of this type, but still can’t quite wrap my head around the thinking involved. For some bizarre reason, despite my unrelenting exposure and condemnation of racism and sectarianism, and indeed my description of Orangism as “retrograde knuckledragging”, he imagines me to be “racist”, “orange” and a “bigot”. Yet he apparently doesn’t think that telling people to “begone” and “go home” to “England or NI” is in any way intolerant. Quite remarkable.

    I imagine these sorts of people are just a bit bonkers. 'Racist' is just the political insult de jure.

    It seems rather obvious that there's nothing bigoted, racist or 'Orange' about this blog.

    Again, it seems a bit daft to give these people a platform. There are always loonies out there, doesn't mean anyone has to convince them out of their delusions.

    Thanks DG. I hope I'm not providing a platform, but rather exposing such ill-founded criticisms to the harsh light of reality.
