(21,020 posts)Those things you mentioned...I neither condone nor condemn them.
There are usually two sides to every issue, so the worst that would happen if I were to take one position over the other is that I would probably be accused of inconsistency (or trollery) if I were to then state an opposite opinion in another thread.
Which I can often do even with the same subject. So I don't get involved with criticism of things like that. Plus, people think they're always so "right" when they find "facts" that support their positions, no matter what side they take. Each side has its own set of "facts". I'm not going to waste my time digging up "facts" that someone else is going to refute with their own "facts".
Other topics...those involving opinions...no. I won't change how I reply to those.
