I used PurplePort as a means to gain some portfolio images, but, it's image has been tarnished by certain individuals, and the fact that, after my request, that an offensive article won't be removed, because it wasn't deemed offensive. Maybe not by those not of that minority group, but certainly the abusive language following up as multiple members found a means to vent their anger at this particular minority group.

The article, was mean't as an April Fools joke, but if very, very bad taste, mocking a particular religion. Further posts by the original auther, and others who commented, grew more and more foul in their language used.
Despite my efforts by writing a comment to end the article, it was met by hostility. Told by the author not to question their freedom of speech and that I've no right to comment.

Here's my comment;
"Can we please have respect and end this article.
April the 1st was two days ago now"

Of course, I reported this to the website admin, but they couldn't find fault with the article, despite me stating how prejudice the article was and how such an inclusive industry as performing arts can allow this.

I since wrote an article myself, not against the offending article, nor it's author directly, but demonstrating how we, in the 21st centry, have been working hard at tolerance to others, no matter their gender, ethnicity, language, disability and religion/belief.
This article was locked, because "it was a statement".
So you see, there still are intolerances, but anyone who questions it will be given a hard time and the offender is let off. And this is a repeated story.
How can society change for the better?
