This site deteriorates when any of us put a personal belief above the beliefs detailed in the guidelines.
I respect your opinion, it is a valid one.
The issue is not tolerance, or intolerance; it's the site goal of pursuing "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" and doing so while we all, among other things,

>Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

You’re being curmudgeonly.
Please don’t break site guidelines. Take some time to review them.
