General Discussion

Had my own version of that convo a couple of months ago. Guy was ranting about how Fauci should be shot. He told me "don't go there".

I told him:

Here's the deal. You brought it up. You need to understand that if you are free to chime in on a given subject, then others are free to give their thoughts on that subject or on your comments. You don't get to speak your piece and then tell someone else to pipe down because you "don't want to hear it". If you're big boy enough to throw your thoughts my way, then you're big boy enough to hear mine right back.

After about the 3rd or 4th variation on the above, it sunk in that he was going to have to 1. STFU or 2. Hear what I had to say in full. or 3. Kick my ass to shut me up.
