@DRMacIver Is it not just a microcosm of wider society? Society is only majority nice, but is it toxic? I don't want to leave, anyway.

@propensive This seems like a non sequitur. Communities can be and are more or less tolerant of a variety of behaviours than background.

@DRMacIver Yes, good point. But do you want more or less tolerance? I've seen a lot of criticism that Scalaz is too tolerant.

@propensive The answer is "it's complicated". Tolerance isn't a scalar it's a vector, and *what* you tolerate matters.

@DRMacIver Yeah, I completely agree. And the fact it's complicated isn't always understood.

@propensive It's also sometimes hard to see who you're excluding by what you tolerate because they're by definition not there.

@DRMacIver Yes. And also easy to hypothesize who it is, correctly or otherwise.

@propensive I have noticed more than a few people saying they avoid Scalaz and similar communities for exactly this reason FWIW.
