And what about listening to the haters?

Yesterday's post sparked some important conversations and a big question: What about showing that same kind of listening and tolerance for those calling for war?

Ah, those snowflake lib hypocrites….”

I can hear the voice of Don Jr. in my head….ץ

You tolerate everyone but people who don’t agree with you…

Well, no that’s not it.

Look, it’s a legitimate question, and can also be a tough one. That is, when we insist on values like open dialogue, listening, and respecting the other, why is it that those same values don’t extend to people spewing hate and violence?

The answer lies in the question itself, but I think it requires some parsing out.

Again, I’m responding by talking it out rather than writing.

Eager to hear your thoughts.
