You do not understand then. I don't have to be around assholes if I don't want to be. That is my right to freedom of association. But when I am out in society, I do not have a right to scream at people in the super market, or keep them out of their doctor's office because I don't like the color of their skin or their politics. I would not refuse to bake a cake for a republican, or refuse to give medical treatment if I were a nurse- that's tolerance. But in my free time, if I choose not to, I do not need to be around people who disgust me- see? Tolerance. You just don't understand it, even though you think you do. Hence your need to troll me for my thread. I guess you're just itching to be there- so you can troll everyone. But that won't happen- because I've seen how that ends up. Boring. And kind of crappy. I don't need that on my thread. But I certainly wouldn't expect any other mods to share my sensibilities. Tolerance. And guess what? I've got no bans- I know where I'm not wanted. Do I care that people don't want to talk to me? No. Tolerance. You need to learn tolerance. Some people like to relax with their friends in peace. When you can be chill about that, instead of whining like a baby man, then you, too, can be tolerant. And ps- I have lots of people who disagree with me on my thread. But there are very explicit criteria- clearly posted. I can't help it if trolls want to test the rules. That's on them, not me.
