n.
1. One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
History:
[French, from Old French.]
Word History: Bigots may have more in common with God than one might think. Legend has it that Rollo, the first duke of Normandy, refused to kiss the foot of the French king Charles III, uttering the phrase bi got, his borrowing of the assumed Old English equivalent of our expression by God. Although this story is almost surely apocryphal, it is true that bigot was used by the French as a term of abuse for the Normans, but not in a religious sense. Later, however, the word, or very possibly a homonym, was used abusively in French for the Beguines, members of a Roman Catholic lay sisterhood. From the 15th century on Old French bigot meant “an excessively devoted or hypocritical person.” Bigot is first recorded in English in 1598 with the sense “a superstitious hypocrite.”
2. a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own
3. A person who is religiously attached to a particular computer,
language, operating system, editor, or other tool (see
religious issues). Usually found with a specifier; thus,
"Cray bigot", "ITS bigot", "APL bigot", "VMS bigot", "Berkeley
bigot". Real bigots can be distinguished from mere partisans
or zealots by the fact that they refuse to learn alternatives
even when the march of time and/or technology is threatening
to obsolete the favoured tool. It is truly said "You can tell
a bigot, but you can't tell him much." Compare weenie.

I also run the company that hosts their website, i can say that this is the 2nd time they have not paid on time. Let alone, they have not paid reimbursements they owe my company for being at the event, and the volunteers who were suppose to be reimbursed from Miami are yet to be reimbursed. This convention is a sham. I used to have faith in it, until there was a change of management.
In my personal opinion.Under no circumstances should any convention in this country be operating as a for-profit corporation. That is exactly what Kunicon is.
The computer they may do, they have done fairly good on their prizes, so thats nothing to gripe about.
There are plenty of other conventions out there, and i suggest people support their local cons and do not attend this national con. I understand it may be harsh, and may piss off the staff members i know from the con, but thats what i feel.
I would love to go into more detail about the workings of the Kunicon empire, but i might bore some. I will say though, if anyone knows www.risingsun.net, his report was truthful, and the numbers he told were exact.
