Sometimes, people are dumb on the internet and need a public shaming



So, one of the things that annoys me the most is religious intolerance.  I railed against it at college, and I like to think I made a difference.  A coworker posted this, and I jumped in with the link, because of course, there can’t be any wrong information on the Internet.  Of course, the conversation quickly turned to making plans to go out (a strength of the Internet).  And to her credit, although the comment was gone by the time I took the screenshot, the original coworker posted an awesome comment about how it’s great that people can have a conversation like this online and we wouldn’t be able to do that in some other countries.

Then however, bigotry reveals its ugly head:

I could easily debate circles around my former coworker (who I am not mentioning, I may be upset and mad, but I’m not going to additionally link to her name, since it’s in an image, it won’t be picked up while I talk about her hatred and bigotry), but I choose not to, as I was positively seething.

Guess she can ignore the sixth point of the Scout Law (A Scout is Kind, for those not in the know).
