I haven't read this thread yet. I think I'm too tolerant.

I can understand some of the concern mentioned that by being too tolerant than you can appear to be compromising.

I guess the word tolerance looked better than saying what's missing is people being NICE! LOL!!!
Exactly what I was thinking. Why can't people just be nice?

Is it possible to be respectful to those you don't respect?

Only if you are skilled at being tolerant!

Yes, it can be done.

One side is saying, you really aren't saying what you are because I know what you mean better than you.
One side is saying, do you have to say that so negatively.

Debate without getting your undies in a wad.
Debate with passion instead of poison.

Question with real concern.
Question without blaming.

I think what we really need is just to step back and practice Christian tolerance!

much love,
Renda

I think you definitely need more tolerance for the intolerance of folks like myself toward those who are so intolerant on AFF!

:sshhh I took that personality test that I would be giving others at my Pastoral Counseling office...it said I was a bit judgmental and intolerant of people who were not as orgainized, intelligent, and capable as myself. It said that I recognized a good leader from a poor one and had little respect for a poor one. Which means I have little tolerance for those who have little tolerance!

Blessings, Rhoni

Oh my! You should seek help for that. I think you would qualify for government funding too.
