       I see a lot of people voicing opinions out there of the form:"I used to be a fan of (Person), but now I found it they say/do (thing I don't believe in) they're a terrible person and I hate everything they do,"Great Shiznax people get a grip.Every single person it there in this great wide world is a complex person. They do things you agree with. They do things you don't believe in. You know a tiny fraction of their lives.To me this seems like intolerance. And I see the same people that voicing the opinion above calling for tolerance of their own views. You can't have both. You must tolerate views different from your own if you ask other people with different views to tolerate your own.Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.Yes, of course there are people who hold view or views so radically opposed to our own that they are incompatible. Those people are already intolerant. And even though we can say "I cannot agree with them" we should at least recognise they are human and flawed, just as we are.Throwing all of someone's good worries out the window because of one thing you have seen or read in some hyperbolic news feed or scare mongering in group is stupid and wasteful. It manufacturers more hate. Don't do that.
