Interestingly enough, it's through furry, and my MUCKing, that I came to be more accepting and open-minded. I hadn't, before, been able to see both sides of an issue at the same time--either I was arguing one, or arguing the other, I couldn't see both sides. Now I can, and I don't know precisely HOW it happened.
But there will always be jerks in any sufficiently large and diverse population. It's a matter of simple probability.
