That's a coin flip and a difficult enough decision that I will -- in no way, shape or fashion -- deride current moderation for choices made. There is a principle to be supported implying that obtuse views must be tolerated, regardless of intent, and I applaud that.

There's also the inherent reality that if we were together at an open bar, -5 would have been "taken out back," either formally or informally, so that he no longer continues to disrupt the party for everyone else by standing on a table in the corner and screaming nonsense for no other reason than to do so.

Academic principle or societal realism? Putting up with assholes isn't the only area where this comes into play.
