I don't believe in being PC. I have my opinions and feelings and you are free to either agree, disagree or disregard them. I'm certainly not afraid to speak up on subjects that matter to me although I have no burning desire to convince anyone that I am 'right' or that my arguement has more basis in 'fact' than anyone else's. I am always interested in learning and if you have a persuasive arguement for your stance, I'll gladly listen and possibly even alter my point of view.

However, I find it pointless to engage in dialogue with someone who is unwilling to listen to my side or explain the reasoning behind their own opinion. Throwing an opinion out there and claiming it is fact with no room for negotiation or discussion will end my participation in the conversation very quickly.

I do try to be polite and not personally attack people who disagree with me. Personal attacks are usually a sign of a weak position and is really unnecessary in an intelligent conversation. I generally disengage when someone resorts to name-calling or personal insults.
