Koan- I think I cannot honestly say I do not discriminate. I do. I choose to be with people I like very much on my thread. And I like people (as most humans do) partly based on how sympathetic I find their opinions and how congenial I find their company. Please feel free to tell anyone I discriminate on this basis- because it is my pleasure to do so. Truly, our thread gives me great pleasure. I have enjoyed moderating it and getting to know each and every one of you. Perhaps you would not discriminate- and that is fine (Tolerance!) but it is my thread, and I choose to.

>>There is a difference between fixed things like nationality and gender which people are born with and philosophies one chooses to follow. You make the same mistake right wingers often do conflating the two.

So, tolerance only applies when. Someone was "born that way." You don't advocate tolerance of different points of view, or people who live in different places, or with different levels of education. It explains a lot.

I think you might be surprised at how enlightenment you could find by revisiting that policy.
