You're talking shit. As another poster has pointed out, you will refuse to let me deny what I actually meant, because you will insist I had no reason to obfuscate unless my intention was perverse and bigoted, but I needed to disguise the fact.

"barbaric rituals" was a flippant and throw-away comment inspired by the fact that quite a few developers really, really like emacs. That's enough barbaric ritual for me.

I had no thought or concept of religion in mind when using either that phrase, or penguin-murdering. I was being deliberately dramatic in an attempt at humour. I was pointing out the irony of how there's actually nothing to be ashamed of by talking to your potential employer in terms of who you actually are, so why do recruiters try and hide it?

You have cynically twisted my words, in as insulting and degrading a manner as possible. You're wrong, you know nothing about me, and the Jews and Muslims I've hired in the past would happily correct your interpretation of my character if given the chance.

You're also within a whisker of libelling me, so, you know, please turn it down a bit.
