This is such a meaningful comment for me Juju. I thank you for being so vulnerable here.
I think many people have refused to engage in public discourse for fear of being stepped on, and/or because those opposing them lack civility, open mindedness etc. And its easy to understand why many disengage with such drivel.

You have reminded me that the right to free speech isn't the right to be unopposed for speaking. There is a cost that comes from speaking my mind. I am reminded of a phrase one of my mentors often said to me "Other people's opinion of me are none of my business". Easy to say, hard to live by.
