Hi mete!

You’re not alone.

Last year I made the mistake/”mistake” of saying that for people in a threesome, what the husband and wife did was none of the third partner’s business (because: marriage). Holy PC Crap Storm, Batman!! I was called names, tried to be bullied off the forums. I stayed silent until someone else actually came to my defense. Then I rejoined the conversation. Soon I was more “right” as more and more people broke out of their PC Fear and agreed with me.

What I would do is go back as if everything was normal. If anyone gives you crap, just say, “You’re still thinking/talking about that?” And never, ever apologize. If you do then people will think they are right/”right” after throwing an obscene amount of crap to the poster that is far worse than anything he posted! I wish I had a certain link, but if you Google Search there are ways and techniques to shut down an internet argument. Even to the point of alluding that you’re a moderator. (i.e. “We on (name of forum) support the expression of all opinions, but flaming will not be tolerated.”)

Also remember that your UserName/Nickname is NOT YOU. They actually don’t know who you really are.

Best,

Inky
