What do you do when everyone is squeeing over something that offends you in ways that are distinctly not politically correct? (The political incorrectness is on my part, not the "somethings" part.)

I know. Just don't say anything.

But it's annoying that I don't feel free to express that opinion openly.

Totally, a well delivered dissent will have me thinking a hell of a lot more than a shrill rant, which is part of why I've started backing away from a lot of online arguments if I see certain indicators/participants. There's a part of me that just wants to not listen/disagree automatically if someone is yelling at me.

That's another bit. I don't *like* arguments,and I don't want to start one.

I left the old senslash mailing list because of such an argument, where I got more and more shrill in defending my position and ultimately decided that the best thing I could do for everyone would be to quietly unsubscribe.
