There are certain subject matters on threads I will not particpate in for I recognize my sensitivities to these on a personal basis. So sometimes best to not get involved when the heat appears to be turning up.

On the other hand becuase of personal experience I find speaking up is advantageous and just keep the emotional reaction in check.

Either way we do choose and can step back any time when it might seem to overwhelm us or we cannot deal with what’s being said.

It really isn’t about offending others...it’s about truth and or seeking and understanding it. At other times it’s about tearing down the strongholds we as Christians are called to participate in.
