Pots calling Kettles Black (Not race too?)

big ot   /ˈbɪgət/
–noun
One fanatically devoted to one's own group, religion, race or politics and intolerant of those who differ.
(Webster's II New Riverside Desk Dictionary)



Strong word, don't you think? We've heard it before at Gil's blog, referencing subjects, political parties, individuals in the news, commenters and even the blog author himself.

But what do you do when the accuser himself fits the description? Fanatically devoted to own political beliefs? Intolerant of those who differ?

I seem to remember spending a few minutes every weekday for the past year and a half posting to Spencerblog either giving my honest opinions over subjects or responding to those overly extreme views of a certain poster who made best efforts to condemn opposing views to hell in his usual manner. Based upon the definition, he REALLY fits it like a glove, unless that glove is "One size fits all", of course. Now who could that individual be???

Better yet, wherever did Randal go and what does he think about it? I understand banishment from a blog associated with a daily periodical, but this is my blog read by a whopping 2-3 people (Big shout out to whoever's left) - so have at it.
