Fealots are
bullies and abusers who hide behind a moral high ground to attack others. The actual high ground is either ill-defined or they don't actually adhere to it.
Signs of a fealot:
* zealously attacks without logic or reason but its obvious the issue is trivial or blown out of proportion
* spends more time attacking than discussing the actual cause.
* usually isn't part of the group in question (
straights defending
gays,
whites defending
blacks, men defending women).
* target group or person is someone the fealot does not like.
* can be more cruel to the protected group than the people the fealot are attacking.

Sarah Palin a c*nt for example while being against misogyny.
* rarely if ever uphold the moral high ground when it disadvantages the fealot.
* hides behind nebulous, ill-defined and vague high grounds or terms "All I want is equality". "I just want fairness" "You're evil"
* plays the victim
