The thing is, nobody is really listening when its a subject we feel strongly about. It would take something quite radical to change my view of Muslims and immigrants so when I read Muslims (as a whole) being demonized, I'm going to strongly voice my opinion right back at that person. Who else can I voice it to? If people think that's cruel, perhaps they covertly agree with what that person said or perhaps its because they consider themselves a friend.
That's why I don't have friends on here, regardless of who is on my friends list. I just consider them like minded faceless posters. If I considered them friends, I may allow myself to be influenced because friendship has personal power.

To be racist or overly judgmental, you need confidence. There's a chance of getting lynched for saying the wrong thing in the wrong forum group but if you know you have back up, even if its not directly on that thread or that topic, you know if you get verbally destroyed by opposing opinions you can always reach for the victim card.

Anyone who gets butt hurt on a forum should consider doing something else with their time. If people can dish out resentment and hatred towards whole societies but then take it personally when someone calls them out, they need to stand up and fight their own corner.
