Surveys continue to show that more and more people are accepting observational reality over their preconceived prejudices all the time. It happens. When someone spouts their faith-based abusive bullshit, it can't hurt to make it clear that they won't get any support from me. When someone says something, and no one speaks up against it, each listener assumes most of the group agrees. Silence is unconsciously interpreted as assent. I wish I could find a link to that article right now.

And when it doesn't work, I don't care. When I'm pissed at someone, ask me exactly how many tugs of a dead dog's cock I give about whether they accept my premises for standing up to them. Go ahead, ask me how many.

There is a time for discussion, and a time to set boundaries on what behavior I will accept. This was the latter. I will NEVER agree to disagree.
