When it comes to competing pairings such as ShinRan and AiCon...

I can like both pairings at the same time. (This includes liking one more than the other)

I chose the first option despite not being a big fan of either pairing, because I read it as ShinRan/AiCon being more of an example of rival pairings than this being a "Do you like ShinRan and AiCon?" poll, if that makes sense.

In series where I actually care about pairings, I can like rival pairings in most cases. :P

That was the intent.
So far, this poll is telling me that pairing intolerance has the opportunity to drive away a significant number of fans from threads discussing them. As an example, if ShinRan fans make up between 2/3rds to 3/4ths of the fandom as other polls here indicate, and roughly a third of them also like AiCon as this poll points to, then 2/9ths to 1/4th of all pairing fans are ShinRan but also like AiCon to some degree. Compare that to AiCon shippers representing 1/3 to 1/4 of all pairings. Supposing all the ShinRan first but also like AiCon fans were scared off by excessive Ran bashing -the worst case scenario- it would mean that the pairing intolerant AiCons are scaring off 40% to 50% of its own AiCon fans. Therefore, I conclude posts like the one above could cripple their ship by almost half it's potential strength. It's a bit like shooting yourself in the foot, isn't it?

Statistics are interesting.

Thinking about it again, Chekhov has a point.  I usually avoid any topics with "Ran" in them like the plague...  ::)

Because it's the majority pairing, ShinRan loses a lower amount of potential people to pairing intolerance than Aicon. AiCons who also like ShinRan would make up about 10% to 14% of all ShinRans if I used the ratios I used above.

I just avoid pairing topics in general.  Zealots are a crazy bunch.

I tend to enjoy paring topics because minus the cliche hating on other parings and most of the time, worship, parings allow one to observe the interactions of characters and discuss them and how they relate in general. 

So I pretty much like all parings, even the joke ones XD
