What's hypocritical about recognizing that people can have different values? And wanting to live among people who generally share my values, while others can do the same with theirs?

you are so f'ing dumb it needs to be pointed out to you. the commenter despises people who think differently than them, they cannot stand to be even living near them (49% of the population). Yet the same people criticize those who discriminate against others. I merely questioned on whether they could even see the folly in their thinking, and YOUR RESPONSE WAS THAT KIND OF THINKING DOESN'T BELONG HERE. and you cant even recognize that. WTF is wrong with you?

  I don't think the original poster despises anyone--I certainly didn't get that sense from anything they wrote. (Nor do I, of course.) I also certainly wouldn't compel people to live any specific place, neither would I force my values on the whole world. I'm happy when we're all free to self-organize into like-minded communities, in a live-and-let-live sense. That said, this community here where we are writing tries to maintain a level of civility that I think you're no longer meeting. There are other places where you can be as impolite as you want, of course. Civility belongs here, discourse lacking in it doesn't.

your whole platform of logic is censor, silence, and segregate those who disagree with you, and you condemn those who you think do the same.

  I welcome a variety of viewpoints in discussion, but I like this community because we focus on maintaining decorum in the discussions. I get the sense you don't care about decorum or civility, and of course you don't need to in your own life, but if you're writing here, you'll have to fake it.
