MtheGM, it's not only tastes. We all must come to terms with our own weaknesses and that of our neighbours and neighbors. If the latter were flawless, we would be alone with our need for tolerance and forgiving.

But sometimes we must criticise them, firstly to make them realise the offensiveness of their behaviour, secondly to protect ourselves and others against it. Specific criticism is often welcome, whereas general ranting, name-calling, assigning adjectives, or using the words "always", "never", etc. is less helpful.
