Reply #97: Without a doubt...

[Meldread]

Without a doubt we cannot deny that we are under attack, that there are real enemies out there, that there are real people out there who would see us real physical and social harm. However, on the same token we cannot deny that there are some of those same people who are on our side, who if given the chance would stand up against those who seek to destroy us.

We are a minority group, unfortunately. As a result we need every single ally that we can get. We can't push someone to the side because of a handful of issues that we disagree with, we have to focus on the bigger picture. We can't afford to alienate people who would be our friends.
