false

We've had another one. One who thinks their own opinion isn't like an asshole. (We all got one, and they all stink.)

But this is my blog, like my home. I can say whatever I want, I can challenge any opinion, and you can disagree quietly or leave. If you chose to take personal offense and speak up, I will expect you to leave and not return. In no small part because most of the people who come read here agree with me, and when you insult me, you also insult them. I feel so pressured by the society around me to keep silence, this is my only place to really speak my mind. I will not be told I am being judgmental here. Especially not without being offered reasoned discussion, but only reactive emotionalism that I have already addressed in the essay.

I can even quote myself. Thusly.

"If that still offends you, then maybe you have come to the wrong blog. You cannot silence me here. I will not tolerate being insulted here. I spend most of my life around people who disagree with me. I do want yes commenters here, actually. Civil folks who are not going to come into my little corner and tell me I'm pushing my opinions on others. Rebut on your own blog to your hearts content. Call me whatever you like there."
