Hi Steve!
Live and let live
That's a nice practice!!
Relationships
are and how we interact with them
is most interesting!
We can choose to respond, or not! It's their realities, and yours! All relationships require a sense of willingness- and the goal should be mutual reciprocity. If not, well, we find our selves faced with much intolerance. I hope, and as you've said, as long as there is no malice- to allow one to be themselves, even in the face of complete disagreement. But when there is no reciprocity- no respect, a decision must me made in the name of ones well being.
As for our site, I hope you and I safeguard the members who wish to express themselves openly as they discuss things that might not be welcomed in their social circles. You and I have endured much criticism in our personal lives for following the things we believe in.
Our disagreements have stemmed from politics mostly, but how we feel for one another goes beyond that. I think the intolerance here comes from disappointment when expectations- usually subconscious one's aren't met.
I've shared my lack of patience with you and have tried in earnest to explain why I have been so, even when it is not you but my own inabilities.
Love you Brother. Hope you're having a good day.
