History teaches that civility to the right wing only encourages them to steal more from the poor. Remember it took a lawsuit that financially crippled the KKK to go some way to taming it and racism still stinks up this and other places. Did civility to Colonel Gadaffy or Saddam Hussein help to convince him to play nice? Letting scum know that they are scum and are anathema may go some way to making them at least hide their loathsome views. It may not change the views but it may disempower the holders. Tolerance gives them a platform they should not have. Tolerance of idiocy leads to harmful false equivalence - for example the teaching of creationism as if it were equivalent to science, in schools - and indeed the child abuse (there was a thread about it here) where children were taught idiotic creationist myth as fact.

Ake - you STILL have told us nothing of what you actually want. Your platitudes in that area are meaningless. And as for your hate for gypsies travellers tinkers and I think maybe you also called them pikeys - remember the thread - even while purporting to justify yourself you spouted off again.
