Do you think the people of Fluther can sometimes (just sometimes) be intolerant and judgemental of people that don't agree with their politics or correctness?

Asked by jca (36062points) January 15th, 2011

I am not asking this in reference to any particular post or person. I have just found on Fluther (and maybe or maybe not on other similar sites, as I don’t really go on any similar sites I am not sure) I have noticed that if some one person is not very politically correct or liberal, he or she may be subject to being “jumped on” or attacked harshly. I have seen this happen where the person was angered enough to leave Fluther.

I know, for myself, I have often avoided posting certain viewpoints or avoided answering certain questions because I just don’t want to get into it with anybody, and I try to avoid conflict and negativity in my life when possible. To me, life is too short to argue with people when it can be avoided.

Do you think Jellies can sometimes (again, just sometimes) be too harsh, judgmental or intolerant of others’ viewpoints, to where we should maybe take a step back once in a while and re-think before we write?

Again, this is not (I repeat not) about any one person or post.

Isn’t Fluther supposed to be about people’s various opinions, thoughts, philosophies and advice, and not “my way or the highway?”

Can’t we all just get along?
