I'm a poor person to ask this kind of question of, because I'm naturally overly judgmental and am very poor at the "forgive and forget" mentality; I have plenty of my own biases about people and positions, and I'm not terribly thrilled about how my bias seems to be proving true.

I don't think it's necessarily a good mentality to have though, and it's something I wish I could change. That said, it is this kind of thing that made me withdraw from the relevant communities, and on a more topical note that makes me typically uncomfortable discussing my own religious (and on an extended note, political/ideological) stances and beliefs.

I do understand where you're coming from; not naming any names either too, but there's a few notable people here who are actually doing what I'd consider well with the topic at hand. It's not all bad in this thread, which is swell.
