How then can you force an objective standard on people who are inevitably going to view any objective standard or information through their own subjective lens? Forcing any "objective standard" of truth is just an erroneous way to define what is and isn't acceptable along arbitrary lines.

There you go, "forcing an objective standard of truth", something I wasn't petitioning for.

    I don't want people to be intentionally mean to anyone, unless it's in a space for such things. I think compassion and respect are healthy and beneficial values but I also acknowledge when comedy takes precedence. But if someone is making a well reasoned argument in a space made for such arguments, which should always be maintained, then it should always be tolerated even if the argument is incorrect. A good balance between freedom and etiquette.
