...drop your head, close your eyes, and clasp your hands in the traditional way.

Very few people will interupt you in order to make you hold hands.

Wanna bet? I've been tapped on the hand or the shoulder several times by someone wanting to hold hands while assuming that same posture. One lady forcefully grabbed my hand once when I indicated I didn't want to do it. I can't figure out why the hand-holders are so darned insistent on that.

That's unbelievable. In my experience, hand-holders are relatively innocent: they're just ignorant, and it seems to them like a nice thing to do, so why not do it.

People who force the issue however, are probably wanting to make a political statement at Mass. Always something that should be avoided.
