Did I say I was not tolerant of those words? My post wasn't intended as a "put down" of anyone. I was answering a question about words that have been misused and thus made difficult to use with loved ones on the right, and in my case I definitely mean LOVED ONES. Read the entire conversation leading to my list and you will have a better understanding of the context I am sure. I don't see how my post was intolerant in the least. We are discussing finding ways to create tolerance on both "sides" (as if such a thing should exist).

I actually LOVE the first four words you reference and get in trouble in GD for it at times. Non-dualism I am not familiar enough with as a term to say.
