I can tolerate moshers to a point; what I can't stand are the assholes who go to shows JUST to mosh. They aren't fans of the band on stage, they just like "the noise they make" so they can go ahead and be reckless assholes in the pit and ruin the show for those who are moshing as an expression of support and emotion.
When I did mosh back in the day, it was because my body needed to, there was nothing else to be done but get in that pit and have the music hit you. However, I was never the type of mosher (read:asshole) who would throw clenched fists and kicks all around me with no regard of who I may end up hitting. Every person I ever hit in a mosh pit saw me coming. and THATS the way its supposed to be; mutual shoulder-to-shoulder collisions.
Not fuckin' wanna be Kumite bouts and shit. fuckin' assholes.
Nowadays, I'm a bit too fragile to endure a full fledge mosh session so now, all I ever ask for at a metal show is that people give me a 2'x2' set of space so I can bounce/groove/headbang/sway/sing/yell at my leisure.
