You seem like you've got your head on straight to me.

I'm always amazed at people who (and I'm using this deliberately) screech about tolerance, yet refuse to show others any. The reasoning is always a bunch of nonsense about 'power' and 'inherent imbalance' etc. Cue the white noise, because all they're doing is justifying their own reasons for being intolerant.

Anyway, nothing else really to say, except maybe, keep the faith.
