- smsm42 9y agoIt's a frustratingly common thing. People think that talking about tolerance and inclusion and being more welcoming gives them personal permission to be rude, mean, intolerant and unwelcoming - maybe because they thought they already earned enough "credits" so they can afford this behavior? Or that they are "on the right side" of whatever, so it's OK to do what they just were publicly decrying doing - to the people "on the wrong side"?
