The topic is about friends or biz contacts.. Not sure if you mean there was a contract broken or an agreement smashed because of it. (like someone being "fired" lets say).

In either case, I think when people can't see past the simple fact that we're not all the same, you've got problems.

Gotta accept people on their qualities that apply to the business you're doing. Not on their political or other beliefs.
Having said that, if someone crosses your own "tolerance" line, well you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

I had a vitenam vet as an employee once, and he used a racial slur (LOUDLY) about an asian customer once and I chewed his ass out right then and there in front of the whole store. He knew where I stood then and kept his opinions to himself while at work. I could have fired him very simply if I wasn't emotionally mature, but the fact was he was good with what he did.

Anyway..
