There are two possibilities: the people you're talking about didn't read your post, or weren't convinced by your post. They aren't required to engage you on your points, if it's the latter. It isn't really a fair response to say, "if you weren't a bigot you'd tell me why you think I'm wrong and your failure to do so convicts you".
There's been a ton of crap in this thread that I've disagreed with an not responded to simply because I wasn't interested in the resulting discussion, or didn't have the energy, and I suspect I'm far more engaged on this topic than the vast majority of people in this country who unfortunately aren't thinking about it beyond a pretty superficial level, as is the case with any political issue.
