'Xenophobic!!!!' etc insult when they are losing an argument and don't want other people to see the opposite belief to theirs as something worth listening to.
And like I've said before, I dont post in serious debates very often, because I'm not that great at typing things out... but I'm very passionate about my beliefs and the name calling/ganging up on those with this type of beliefs is pretty disgusting.
I'm not all that surprised though. So many people on the internet have this really irritating 'We must accept everyone for who they are, unless they say something we dont like' ideology.

Firstly, there was very clear examples of xenophobia in this thread before half the posts were deleted. Its fine to call people out on sexism/racism too if and when you see it.
Secondly, i have never met anybody who is accepting of all opinions. What kind of person would they be? Do you know any?
