We've already been over this. You're repeating the wambulance complaint, fielding a charge of hypocrisy...where none exists in the first place, lol.
-aaaaaaaaaaand now we're onto reverse discrimination of the funhouse mirror variety.
"It's important to be tolerant-- except of THOSE assholes. They need to made to shut the fuck up."
--thought everyone, ever, who had a strong opinion about anything.
Tolerance doesn't mean agreeing with those who already agree with you. It means getting along with those you find antithetical to your own world view, at least insofar as they don't violate the rules of the society you live in.
And by the way. . . you're an asshole too, and I very much doubt I'm the only person who would say so.

You're missing the thrust. My assholishness is within the limits...and I'd be positively -surprised- if you couldn't find people who think "what an asshole" when they think of me. However, if someone tells me I'm an asshole, I'm not going to bitch about tolerance and discrimination and hypocrisy..because that would be fucking stupid. I...am many things, occasional asshole among them....most of them known only to me. Stupid...not one of them.
You're welcome. If the best you can muster is to call me an asshole ex retaliatori, then you're spent, lol. Go crawl in a hole with the rest of your kind.
