That is not what happened. Go back and read it again.

So you misunderstand me because I am unsubtle? Doesn't that mean you're an idiot?

You want to write everyone here off that way because it's easier than engaging honestly.

Isn't it annoying when someone else deliberately misunderstands you?

Banish? No. Learn from? Yes. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We need the bad set to sort out the good set.

Ideas and beliefs that are the antithesis of inclusivity cannot be included in inclusivity. It's like saying to create a truly loving environment, you have to love hate. It's not nuance, it's naive.

Some guy a while back used to preach "love thy enemy". I think he was on to something, but you probably think he was just naive. You appear to have more in common with the flawed movement that followed.
