Bigoted.

Here are some quotes from the site in question:
quote:
profanity, blasphemy, obscenity, violence, loose, low-life living, nudity, perversion and so on
​
rock music, drug parties, wife-swapping, sodomite steam baths, mixed swimming, nude shows,
​
palpable leftist, liberal slant to the point one could wonder if Moscow sometimes prepares the newscasts
​
Now I happen to in a general way agree with the overall assessment of the quality of tv. I also most strongly agree with selected bits listed above.
​
However, "mixed swimming"? "rock music"? "leftist liberal slant"?
​
A strong 'hint' of homophobia.
​
I read a bit more into that than you might think is there. But if we talked for awhile to the writer I think I may have hit closer to the truth with the tag "bigot" than any other.

Sounds innocent enough
You just don't have as good an imagination as I do.
