If noone speaks out to the contrary, we all become complicit in the spread of their hatred.

Remember Edmund Burke's words. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

That and the sparring can be entertaining.

Well, I'll leave it to you, I've done my time, nearly a decade of it, and it is now incredibly depressing and tiring to be exposed to bigotry and hatred at every turn. From now on, I think I'll resort to the ignore button wherever possible, if only for my mental health.
