As someone who has lived through extreme abuse, I find the claim by many people today that they are abused to be ignorant and self-pitying. They have no idea what real abuse is.

By the same token, nobody has to like one or approve of one's values. We are all slightly differnet. We value different things.

Unfortunately, I find discussion to be mostly draining. I understand it is my limitation. I am, however, 'austistic' in that I have Asperger's and there are things I simply cannot cope with.

So, yes, I do tend to avoid people who want to argue with my opinions. 'm guilty.
