No Kool Aid Zone?
drink the Kool-Aid - to accept an argument or philosophy blindly.
This phrase comes from the 1978 "Jonestown massacre" in which most members of the Peoples Temple cult, blindly following their leader Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.Radically Tolerant - of all people, irrespective of race, faith, circumstance. As a person, you will be treated with the respect and dignity you deserve as an individual created in the image of God.
Radically Intolerant - of slipshod reasoning, emotion without intellectual substance, bad ideas, lazy thinking, cowardly ad hominem attacks, the preposterous notion that 9/11 is some government conspiracy (proceed directly to the Loony Bin; do not pass "Go"; do not collect $200), the designated hitter, and the Dallas Cowboys.

WOW! Almost too painful to be funny.
Here’s a couple from me…
“Why can’t they just come to your office?”
Said by a finance committee member after explaining that I use part of my budget to take students out to meals occasionally to build relationships with them. I lost that part of my budget.
“I don’t see why we have to spend money on choir music for Christmas. We have plenty of old ones from 15 years ago that we could reuse.”
Same meeting, different person
“Unless we have an equal number of Hymns and Praise Songs every Sunday, this church is going to split, and it will be your fault.”
Chairman of Deacons
I’ll stop there.

I’m sorry, did you say these were ADULTS saying those things?
But of course, you were the one who insisted on going to a Baptist church…

What was I THINKING! Well, I was young and stupid, whereas now I am still young and slightly less stupid.
Hopefully, I will learn from that mistake, and not do it again
