Snake, I don't think you know the meaning of "passionate disagreement". Seeing every conflict in a binary "us vs them" where you burn bridges with anyone who doesn't fully agree with your extremism doesn't bring about tolerance, it just brings you closer to more extremists.

Stop treating opinions as a binary "with me/against me" deal. Just because someone doesn't agree with the same vehemence as you on an issue and isn't willing to fight for it as much as you, it doesn't mean they're against you.

Token is angry about this and has every right to be, but he's not exploding and going on a tirade about how every single aspect of the system is wrong with every single one of his posts.
