I don't know where you got the idea that anyone is obliged to tolerate intolerant people but you are wrong. Embarrassingly wrong.

Your line of thinking actively cuts paths for bigots. Square your morals with helping Nazis victimize LGBT people.

You say you're not politically prejudiced but then why do you keep injecting your politics into the discussion and complaining that people aren't saying things you agree with, including the implication that users and mods are consipiring against you and your beliefs by allowing people to speak negatively of Robertson? Your actions and your words are at odds with one another.
See? You can have the Reddit experience no matter which site you're on!

You think people hate him for his political views but that's just pure speculation on your part. Not everything revolves around US politics regardless of people's desire to politicize everything so they can dig their heels in and create an "us versus them" narrative.
Were any of the people making those comments here today making these comments? You only think it's ironic because you seem to believe that everyone who doesn't align with your specific brand of politics thinks and acts the same way rather than being individuals with their own individual beliefs.
Edit: Nice job editing your comments to spam whatever this link is. Apparently you don't legitimately care about Pat Robertson what-so-ever.
You are standing on a moving train insisting on staying put. There is no center ground here. Just normal people and bigots. LGBT people reading your comments know which side you are on.

You didn't just refuse to condemn him you came out here to grand stand about how righteous you are to people who have been hurt by him.

Someone has to think about how your actions are perceived by others because you definitely aren't.

His comments have been removed, and it just says https://www.themotte.org/ which I checked out by the way and I couldn't hear anything for all the Dog Whistling going on.
So that any goes type of political figure? What about one that committed mass genocide? Or is that just a “difference of politics” too?
Also we were talking about site rules breaks. Not arbitrary rules you made up for yourself that you’d choose to assert on others.
It’s unhelpful to get off topic.
Not particularly, no.
