That's exactly how I feel. Actually, that's usually what I want to say to people during discussions. I want to gold-plate it on a sampler. I don't expect others to agree with an unpopular opinion or change their minds, but I sometimes would like them to not treat me like a pariah because of those opinions. I think the straw that broke this half-camel's back was when I was told that I was "anti-feminist" and that I must "hate people with mental and/or emotional problems" to have some opinions when the discussion had been far from that. Conversation dissolved into people making assumptions about my personal life, and I got pissed. Cue almost two years of trolls emailing me about it and me constantly having to ban and report people from my email and my LJ just to be left alone for a few days. And then I sit back and think as I check my blood pressure, "This was over a TV show." *sigh*
