I'm sorry you were hurt, Chilledice.
Different people are deeply sensitive about a million different things.
When it comes to issues I know are controversial, I ask myself, "Would I be willing to risk persecution for my opinion? Is it that important to me?"
If not, I don't offer it.
PS--I'm another one who stays off of Facebook!
Some people get a big thrill out of picking fights (it's easy when you're anonymous)!
