Even though they're in a small minority of the community. Maybe Heart if people like you would stop trying to restrict people's freedom there'd be more people and less arguing. Maybe. If you would understand you're not going to win these fights to restrict freedom we wouldn't be having this conversation. Maybe if you'd recognize you sound like Vladimir Putin talking about how they need laws which basically strangle people. Maybe if you'd simply swallow a bit of your pride and say "I'm sorry this large argument was unecessary and pointless because it just drove people away." The whole standpoint requires you to value freedom above peace. I'm quite sure that any one of us can recognise that ultimate anarchy and war is most certainly not preferable to limiting freedom, but keeping everything peaceful. The problem here, indeed, partially lies in everyone having the freedom to argue, no?
