    So we might accept that others live lives quite divergent from our own, on the condition that they do not obligate us to do as they do. Acceptance of divergent lives does not imply agreement or obligation. This maintains moral consistency: one can uphold their own values while ethically recognising the legitimacy of other ways of living.Banno

    I really, really like this. It doesn't fit with most takes on the topic we see about these parts, but I like it.

    Cheers.

    So do you accept the concomitant differentiation between acceptance and tolerance?
