Does denouncing someone as a bigot make you yourself a bigot or is it okay because _obviously_ their views are bad and it's okay to take a moral high ground?

I don't really care to spend that much time considering the political correctness of my opinions - I use my best judgement.

If you put your opinions up on youtube (whether you have a mental illness or not), you open yourself up to public criticism. Maybe 'bigot' is a shitty word in general, and I was being partly facetious - but I've watched a few of the full templeOS youtube videos and they're disturbing - that's just my opinion.

It might just do when you don't take said person's extenuating circumstances (schizophrenia, in this case) into account when judging their actions.
