This is a Gary James <cnjames@homemail.com> scroll!  it says:

> Let's try the overworked word "bigot":

> {Merriam-Webster :  Bigot;  n(oun)  One obstinately devoted to his own
> church,  party, belief or opinion. }

now we see the problem that comes from only getting your information
from one source instead of actually taking the time to figure out what
you're talking about:

Bigot:

    One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or
    politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

	--The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language,
	Third Edition

bigot n. [F. bigot a bigot or hypocrite, a name once given to
the
 Normans in France. Of unknown origin; possibly akin to Sp. bigote
 a whisker; hombre de bigote a man of spirit and vigor; cf. It.
 s-bigottire to terrify, to appall. Wedgwood and others maintain that
 bigot is from the same source as Beguine, Beghard.] 1. A hypocrite;
 esp., a superstitious hypocrite.  [Obs.]

 2. A person who regards his own faith and views in matters of religion
 as unquestionably right, and any belief or opinion opposed to or
 differing from them as unreasonable or wicked. In an extended sense,
 a person who is intolerant of opinions which conflict with his own,
 as in politics or morals; one obstinately and blindly devoted to
 his own church, party, belief, or opinion.

bigot n. [common] A person who is religiously attached to a particular
computer, language, operating system, editor, or other tool (see
religious issues). Usually found with a specifier; thus, `cray bigot',
`ITS bigot', `APL bigot', `VMS bigot', `Berkeley bigot'. Real bigots
can be distinguished from mere partisans or zealots by the fact that
they refuse to learn alternatives even when the march of time and/or
technology is threatening to obsolete the favored tool. It is truly
said "You can tell a bigot, but you can't tell him much." Compare
weenie, Amiga Persecution Complex.
