This post from @jsonbecker is going to be timeless, because as a society we increasingly let social media amplify each side of an issue until it’s out of proportion with the facts:

…sometimes when your peers and people you respect have all decided what the “right” view is, it’s very hard to comfortably express a less strident, more lukewarm, more timid, and possibly more complex or nuanced take, especially if you’re not ready, willing, and able to present a dissertation about your view point.
