I've become really sick of the negativity in these forums lately and I even stopped reading them for a while because of it. Negative thinking warps people's minds. Pretty soon all people can see is hate and hyperbole and hateful hating hyperbole. Don't believe me? Recently, a poll was started where the question was asked "What should be LEAST tolerated in Second Life?" 419 people thought there were other issues less tolerable than NAZIS. NAZIS!!! I have never seen a greater display of passive hyperbolic hate than that displayed by the people (not counting the 30 gentle souls that voted for Nazis) in that poll. If I asked the same question but reversed, I'd bet money that the hateful ways of those 419 people would reveal them as nothing short of hypocrites blinded by hate. I don't even have to name the names of these hypocrites since it was a public poll and you can see for yourself, but they should be very ashamed of themselves. I'm trying to do my part to turn these forums around. To get something really accomplished besides hate mongering, you have to focus on the positive. So please vote positively!

Just because I voted that Greifers should be the LEAST tolerated doesn't mean I'm passive about Nazi's. There was only 1 vote allowed per person, I'm sure if it were multiple choice I'd have picked Nazi's as being one of them.
Maybe you should stop making blind assumptions about the way people vote?
P.S. And since when were forum polls counted as actual statistics?

Exactly my point. P.S. Don't hate. You'll only work yourself up over nothing.

There are really three classes in the above poll.
(1) Things that can be abused, (2) social groups, and (3) those that break the rules.
1 & 2 both should be tolerated; though if rules are broken the individuals who broke them should not.
I could not in good conscious choose from the list which is most deserving. If the poll only delt with social groups, it would be easier to choose.

From: Chance Abattoir Exactly my point.
P.S. Don't hate. You'll only work yourself up over nothing. hmmm.. I think making a poll asking what should be tolerated or not tolerated is in itself griefing and asking for these ppl to be griefed to tell you honestly. You are pointing out their differences and holding them up for censure while others get to keep theirs under the proverbial table. But that is just my opnion..  AND STOP HATING ON GUNS IN SL heh |

Choosing strictly from the list, I had to go with sexual deviance, but my second choice would in fact have been furries. My true first choice, though, would be someone I've seen in-game named Alex Fitzsimmons. You may have met her. I mean, it's only my personal, unbiased third-party opinion, of course, but I think that people should tolerate absolutely anything she does. I would, at least.

Nothing should be tolerated, EVAR!!!! Ooops, wrong thread... Er, folks we should tolerate nice things, like chocolate and ice cream and, as has been mentioned, sexual deviance... Oh, and if you don't mind, I'll be off to tolerate a bit of alcohol abuse ...

After being a terribly depressed person earlier in my life,
I'm all for tolerating the happy.
Happy people...
in happy houses...
with happy appliances...
(happy washer and dryer combo)
and in a happy town
with happy skies
and happy clouds
with happy sun + moon
