You have my sympathy as well. Out of respect, here's some truth: They may not be "a bunch of self-centred bigoted morons" - but rather just people who have different opinions and tastes than yours. The fact that they have opinions that differ doesn't mean they are any less valid than yours. It also doesn't mean that they are 'better' or "worse" people than you. Just different. It would have been prudent on their part to warn you first and let you know that 'rosity was unacceptable in their opinion. I can stop by here now but I've also worked at many places where it would have been unacceptable. I've been fortunate enough to know "where the line was." It sounds like it was never made clear for you. That's very unfortunate. Best of luck.

Before they made me they broke the mold!
