Since I joined Eratosphere, I have seen without exception, anyone who forcefully states a political opinion that is not explicitly conservative or libertarian be mocked, sometimes to the point of being hounded from the site or, in my case, privately contacted with the message: Please leave, you are more trouble than you are worth.

There is an old phrase which Jane Austen uses to high comedic effect in Pride and Prejudice:

"Keep your breath to cool your porridge."


Not a bad piece of advice, that.

Enjoy your article. I will keep my breath to laugh. And isn't laughter the true opposite of fear?
