   Sure, and that's fine if you are making a forum for civilized discussion. I am attending a party full of nerds and freaks and weird fuckers.

   I remember that guy maybe 20 years ago that moved to San Francisco and sued this gay bar that he lived near for contributing to making the neighborhood shitty because dudes was suckin' dicks in the alley, right? And my thought was "Why the fuck did he move to San Francisco? They were there suckin' dicks in the alley before he showed up." I wouldn't want to live in a place where there were dudes suckin' dicks in the alley under my window, right, but I don't show up in a city where there are dudes suckin' dicks in alleys, buy a place overlooking an alley, and then demand they change what they are doing to accommodate me. He should have sued his realtor if he was gonna sue anyone. (If he was smart, he would have made lemonade: filming it, I imagine, could have paid his mortgage, but in either case, if he'd hung onto it until about ten years ago, he could have made a lot of money than he would have made from a frivolous lawsuit.)
   
   At any rate, I decline to allow people that don't want to talk to me to dictate the rules under which I talk to other people. They don't get a vote, and they waived their right to even make a suggestion when they blocked FSE. Good riddance.
   
   > one neighborhood sends about 80% assholes but 20% interesting/dissident views.
   
   That's been quantified. It's about 4%, and the percentage is constant between "neighborhoods": the places that call *this* place an asshole neighborhood have about as many assholes as we do. Propinquity creates a bias in perception, this is common knowledge. In any case, it's better to instance-block the handful of people that your instance can't tolerate.
