    Why not? “We should exterminate all non-whites” seems like a pretty good reason to dismiss a person.

      Such hateful ideas are a symptom which can have wast variety of root cause. Your example is quite extreme and I agree it rightfully warrants hatred, but I’d argue that it’s all the more reason to not dismiss a person. We should seek connection with and understand these people and prevent destructive ideas from spreading IMHO, because there will be others who also won’t dismiss the person - only difference is that they might be receptive for hateful ideas. Sorry if I came across supporting these ideas, this is not the case.

        The conversation moved on from that old fart to a broader point of not dismissing a person on behalf of their political views.

        I gave an example of a view which is ground for such dismissal so your question is wrong because it isn’t about that specific women anymore.
