Therefore my opinion of you as a hypocrite (not as ignorant or prejudiced, those "accusations" were tools used to display my subjective point) still exists.
If you disagree with this rationale and still feel the need to insert varying degrees of psychosis into replies to my posts, then I must turn around and apply your own logic to your posts in an effort to show you how ridiculous the whole thing is. You like?

And still he doesn't see it...
Dude, your "duck" is undefined. You've mentioned "me and mine", "us all", "people like me", my "peers in intention and action", and the closest you came to actually saying something is "to the left side of the political spectrum" (after all, politics only consists of "left" and "right", right?).
You've grouped me with an undefined group, called that group hypocrites (which they may be, since I have no idea of who they are and if their political positions actually resemble mine), implied that I use "politically correct" language, said I "throw around words like 'bigot' and 'prejudiced'", etc.
Tons of straw man arguments there...
There is no rationale to what you're doing. It's a barrage of nonsense, implying that I have some sort of undefined political position which is supposedly hypocritical (but who knows? it's kinda hard to answer when no actual clear statements are made on what that political position is).
For once, be clear: what do you think my political position is, and who are you talking about when you refer to "you all"?
