Colluders cannot safely tolerate doubts, uncertainty, ambiguity, paradoxes, humor, jokes creativity, personal integrity, liberation or any independent thinking which MIGHT expose their own dishonesty and lack of integrity. People of outstanding integrity who demonstrate spectrums of possibilities are worthy of respect, honor and support, and are far more dangerous to colluders --- than are marginalized people who merely say that some truths and relationships are possibly worthy of respect, honor and support. Colluders must maintain certainty at all costs; no matter what the cost. Such extremism ultimately exposes colluders' lack of integrity --- because they refuse to deal openly and honestly with doubts, ambiguities, paradoxes, and spectrums of possibilities.
