I never compromised (I think I'm just too sensitive for it, honestly), but I don't mind "suffering fools" and telling them, kindly, how wrong they are and how shameful it is to take whatever position/action they've taken, and to please reconsider. If after a while they don't stop, then I just cut our links, even if it's blood that unites us. I can't be associated with someone whose actions and thoughts I simply cannot condone (although I'm pretty accommodating and won't judge folks for stuff others would, usually for superficial reasons). It's important to remember many people aren't immoral by conviction and deep thought but by propaganda and lack of thought, and sometimes just nudging them into the right direction is enough to make them think about things, finally. They're not villains, they're just intellectually incompetent, and just like a taller person might help me reach things on the top of the cupboard, so must those who know better guide those who don't...
