How then can someone be a *Prod bigot* if he is not a Prod?.

Paddy says to Ali:

You're not very savvy, are you, for someone who tells us he
lived in that polarised atmosphere where sectarian talk
could get you a bullet in the head if you weren't careful?

Maybe you've survived so long thru pure dumb luck??

Perhaps there's still an outside chance of you giving
that good example of how to do the honourable thing
like you wanted Pat and Susan to do?

I did the honourable thing. I resigned.

Pat and Susan are refusing to obey the US NSA to leave TRB. Because
there are many more baha'is in the US than in the UK their NSA
couldn't be bothered chasing up Baha'is to leave the internet

I think both Susan and Pat should lose their administration rights.

This is an old one Paula, a Priest once asked me with humour "was I a
protestant Baha'i or a catholic bahai" when I launched this art
exhibition at Manooth College in 1995. By the way this is the closest
I have ever come to wearing an Orange Sash was painting Orange Parades
in this visual art exhibition recorded in the 1994-95 edition of The
Bahá'í World, pp. 243-272.

Bahá'ís and the Arts: Language of the Heart

"An art exhibition entitled "Art: An Act of Worship" was opened in
October 1994 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, touring throughout a number
of towns and cities until December and being viewed by between 500 and
1,000 people during those months. One work was also included in a
"Symbols" exhibition, organized by the Cultural Traditions group,
which seeks to explore religious, political, and social symbols in
Northern Ireland. Also in Northern Ireland, the work of well-known
Belfast artist George Fleming, depicting Orange Day processions in
Ulster, has encouraged a less prejudiced and more informed look at the
Orange Order. Significantly, the exhibition was launched at a college
where Roman Catholic priests are trained. Viewers initially attempted
to determine whether the artist was Protestant or Catholic, but the
program clearly identified him as a member of the Bahá'í Faith
attempting to bring understanding to different traditions in the
country."

We must write and tell them that you were definitely a Prod Bahai but now
you're just a nasty old bald fat bigot!

On the up side, though, thanks for reminding those of us who have never met a traditional Northern Irelander that not only are
there only the two kinds of people, Protestant and Catholic, but for this sort, keeping them sorted out is fundamental.

Did the space aliens tell you this?

Your reasoning is flawed. Because the US has a larger community, they
have a larger permenant staff. If they wanted to, they'd have help
sorting out what some Baha'i was doing on line.

You call your behaviour "honourable"???!???!!!

It is to laugh.

After the biglongrant you posted here about every Baha'is
absolute duty to obey authority, I'd call it hypocritical.

But, anyway, I was referring to the time when you were
calling suicide the honourable thing, and asking Susan
and Pat to jump off the Empire State building.

I expected wounded pride posturing and you telling me
I was giving YOU death threats now.

I underestimated your stupidity.

I notice that the wee gobshite hasn't quite worked out how
my joke answers his dumb question.

I guess we've done enough proving how dumb he is now - even
though he had previously been asked by a Maynooth priest
(do we believe him? Maynooth priests are a stock type
too) whether he was a "protestant or catholic Baha'i",
he still needs to ask why it is important that he's
a Prod bigot while not being a theist.
