No...you will not...

For my purpose, we are going to use the following definition of fundamentalism;

A usually religious movement or point of view characterized by a return to fundamental principles, by rigid adherence to those principles, and often by intolerance of other views and opposition to secularism.

While it is my belief that you are demonstrating those characteristics, you seem to feel that you are being insulted. So be it. Make your case, to me, how being refered to as a fundamentalist, when you embody the tennants of fundamentalism, is an insult.

Regardless, you most certainly will NOT resort to insults. Do I need to be any clearer on that point?
