It isn't "bigoted" to call someone out for their behavior - in fact it is one of the reasons we have laws and government to begin with. I don't see you rushing defending the kayaker who put himself (and others) in danger through his behavior, yet you're defending someone who is endangering us all through their unwillingness to admit their ignorance. It's sad, really. But I'm sure you won't bother to try and understand my point, so just go back to name-calling. It's very constructive.
