Some people disagree with you. That doesn't mean that any single person who disagrees with you approves of the worst of those who also impede your crusade.

Granting oneself a dispensation from any rules of civility because someone else has wronged one is a form of selfishness: it demands others to comport themselves in ways one is above. That's privilege, and it's anti-pluralist.

The raging fury against anyone who disagrees is bad enough, but to tar all others with the worst of the opposition's statements is not just shrill and inaccurate, it's dishonest and abusive.

I don't hold you accountable for posts made by others; by what mechanism of your exalted rational abilities do you grant yourself the right to do so to others as you please?
