When you allow enable hostile people in your community you exclude people who won't tolerate them.

@mikeal @bastiankrol isn't an intolerant person basically an asshole?

@tillsc not at all. Intolerance regarding racism, white supremacy, homophobia etc. are not associated with the word asshole for me.

@bastiankrol but what about intolerance against people (which is not the same as intolerance against opinions)?

@tillsc I don't get your point. If I have zero tolerance for such "opinions", I also have no tolerance for people upholding that opinion.

@bastiankrol my opinion is: you should tolerate them (not their opinions). Everything else leads to hate and even more intolerance
