He doesn't let my opinion exist without me feeling guilty about it because my opinion apparently is less trust worthy then "a mental person with a gun". I cannot even begin to describe how utterly aggravating it is to try talking reasonably with a person who treats your beliefs like the lowest form of filth.
Its frustrating and insulting to have to deal with someone who feels its acceptable to be indecent and the only way to respond to it is to "suck it up" as he puts it.

Some things are important enough to fight for (which is why this forum does not allow religious or political discussions for a good reason), and other things are about as important as ice cream flavor preferences. A little while ago, I was observing a heated internet "discussion" concerning the latter, and I made the mistake of telling people that, since it was not an important issue, why not calm down, agree to disagree, and discuss it in terms of opinions?
The very next poster promptly called me "The same as Hitler!"
I was compared to Hitler for saying "let's all just get along."
There is something hilarious about that.
