Tolerance does not require one to tolerate intolerance. Showing malcontents the door doesn't make one intolerant.

I would rather have a discussion with someone who disagrees with me so long as they can do it honestly and at least somewhat respectfully. I've been wrong before and I will be again. I don't have any need to surround myself with people who nod their head at every thing I say. However there are some on DU who simply can't handle having their ideas challenged and if logically cornered will resort to the most vile form of name calling and false accusations which have no place in civilized conversation. Some of those people participate in this group. As far as I'm concerned they shouldn't be on DU period and should find a new place to spread their hate. That's what unmoderated forums are for.

Is someone here arguing that rape is ok or nonexistent? 4th law of robotics Aug 2012 #23

Part of the reason I shut it down is, I don't appreciate implications of rape apology. Warren DeMontague Aug 2012 #24

the only people claiming rape apology were the ones misstating what I said. Warren Stupidity Aug 2012 #25

And there is a difference between saying "it was the wrong place to ask her out", like I did Warren DeMontague Aug 2012 #27

Your anti-porn views may stem from something else 4th law of robotics Aug 2012 #14
