Talking! Rationally and honestly. Mature. Professional. Kudos.

I don't think it's right people need to hold back from speaking their minds or being themselves out of fear a post like what's seen above could happen to them. After being targeted myself by one of the individuals promoting (reblogging) the post seen above in the same way, I know how shitty it feels to be pushed around by the group acting like that and choosing to play dirty.

There's been a lot of collateral damage since the onset and ensuing smear campaign seen above. Countless members of this community are being forced to put up with it, threatened and held hostage by tags like "hiveisdead." Painting everyone with a broad brush, forcefully, and calling it, "Freedom."

I'm personally getting sick of the modern trend toward the death of rational discourse, in favour of everyone painting each other as smooth-brained idiots or evil sociopaths all the time. Seriously, I'm losing my patience with it. Aren't you?

That line is why I've upvoted this comment. I'm sick of it, too. Not a fan of the division being enforced and maintained either. Unfortunately I see that division being part of the mission here and have my doubts finding solutions and settling differences has ever been the goal. That's just my educated guess/opinion of course and I suppose I'll get shot for it now but whatever; I'm used to it.
