So Although sometimes I feel angry, I can't deal with it the way I usually would, which is to argue, take time out to calm down, come back and reason, be logical etc.

I also believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but there is a time and a place to express that opinion. I hate that the little coffee shop I frequent every day harbours someone who in my mind is spewing hatred. But then I hate the ban hammer too; because we're robust enough as a community to deal with different opinions. But then

But surely only reasoned ones?
Or is that the road to hell?

I'm worried I might have to surrender my bleeding-heart liberal passport. See, it can't be worth much if I am getting this riled.
I feel like we have to call him out occasionally because spewing hate unchecked isn't helping him or the cellar. I will also walk away.
