Very well stated, Xenophonz! I have one thing to add, though (not directed at you or your comment). Tolerance does not equate to approval. People forget that. Simply expressing disapproval or disagreement is not intolerance. I tolerate many things I don't approve of or aggree with but until I start trying to impose my beliefs (as opposed to merely expressing them) on someone else, I am still being tolerant. Tolerance is about action. Self expression is about ideas. @Phantast Regarding offending, another way of looking at it is what happens if I'm offended that you're offended by my art? (Not you and me personally) What a sticky wicket to be in!

Before they made me they broke the mold!
