[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 5758184, member: 8461"] You're entitled to your opinion, but I think intolerance is a bad thing, even when it's "just" limited to intolerant expressions. It's spurious to now ask for specific examples of people spouting this belief; everyone who objected to FFG's original flavor text does not post on EN World. That's also beside the point, since I'm speaking in generally of people who adopt the attitude of "change that which bothers me." Some people have that opinion about some things, and that's what I'm speaking to. Intolerance is bad; taking a stand against intolerance is not bad even if you call it intolerant to intolerance. One doesn't need to make an explicit threat to say that they don't tolerate something's existence. Simply saying you don't recognize its right to exist carries a threatening element by itself, as its saying that you don't agree that it deserves to [i]be[/i]. You keep displaying a fundamental misunderstanding of my point. I'm not saying people can't be offended by things - they can. I'm saying people have no right to expect the things that they're offended by to change for the sake of assuaging their sense of outrage. Be offended all you like. But that offense stops at the point where you expect things to change just to suit you; you don't have that right. [/QUOTE]
