And this, from 1945? Brilliant.
Your post brings to mind some sayings I hold by:
You can't have a rational discussion with irrational people.
Your right to swing your fist ends at my nose.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is. (a difference)
Don't go up against a crazy person who has no limits, they will out-crazy you every time.
I don't know enough about the inner workings, or politics, of this platform to make a meaningful comment about defining intolerance or if and where and how to draw the line. But I do know something about bullies and I hate to say that it seems that here, as in life, bullies have no problem exercising their power, while the people who just want to get along are reluctant to restrain them.
I'm sure it's more complicated than that.
haha, some great thoughts in this comment. I guess some are here for different reasons so we end up nearly fighting each other as we all try to reach our goal. Normally I have a high tolerance for conflict and disagreement, that is where the difference between theory and real life happens. In theory, I don't have any emotions about it. In this situation... Occassionally, I have feelings. :)
