People take points of view. They post thoughts and articles to support those points of view. Often people get upset with criticism of their points of view. If people want to attack a point of view it is much easier to attack that point of view with information than to attack that point of view with name calling.
I see very little reason for a point of view to be suppressed. Is there hatred in the world? You bet there is. Are there people who think that if you don't like their point of view you should go live somewhere else? You bet there are.
While I can understand some of the reaction that occurred on this board today, I can't say that I support it.
