Force you? Stop being so melodramatic. You can't force someone to do something with persuasive arguments.

You don't acknowledge who is saying what? Oh, that's right, you're aware they're saying it regardless of whether or not you're willing to "acknowledge" it or not. Reality is there whether you like it or not. Notice that you're not saying you don't care with this statement, but that you refuse to admit they exist. This is bizarre language.
Why did you even bother to post in this thread and engage in this discussion if you're so very above all of this, if it's outside even of the world you acknowledge?

Again, this is the question: Why is it that I have to change my behavior because you don't like something that I don't care about?

Your first post in this thread is about how you think this rhetoric is important to our democracy. Since then, you've backed way off this statement, even going so far as to not even acknowledge that this rhetoric even exists to you. Which is it? Do you have an opinion or don't you? And if you do, do you understand that you can be held responsible for that opinion?
