I am going to try one last time to explain it to you, using a real life situation.
My best friends and I just bought new houses less then a block apart, walking distance, was not on purpose, just worked out that way.
I moved in over Easter weekend, they moved in about a month before. We visit each other's house often, usually by walking up a hill that connects our back yards.
When they come over, I invite them right in, and they stop at the door to take their shoes off, not necessary in my house, HOWEVER, it is a rule in their house.
SO, even though I don't feel it is a big deal to walk around in my shoes, when I am at THEIR house I follow THEIR rules, because IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
If you don't like our rules, stop coming over....it really is that simple. Our rules were here long before you and I, and they will be here long after you are gone...see how I didn't include myself in the leaving part....that is because I understand, and RESPECT, the rules of this house.
And you were called a bigot because of your remarks about Catholics, not cool, not called for and generally not accepted. Your "I was taugh long ago to never ever say something to, or about a person on a message board, I would not say to them face to face." would have lead to a huge issue "Face to Face" if you would have said "That explains why you are full of hate, and venom experience in Catholic school. Wonder if all the haters have the same upbringing in Catholic school." to my face.
