Why do you always "go against the grain" with everyone?
why is that?

Because if I don't who will? This is not a specious
statement. History is rife with those who "went against
the grain".
Rosa Parks, Mother Jones, John Brown, Guy Fawkes,
Socrates......
It is very easy for me to attempt to bring a modicum of
thought to the some of the more radio cliched
pronouncements on this forum. It means very little, there
is no danger, and you don't even know my name! It keeps me
in practice for the time when I might have to stand again
opposing those whose positions I despise.

No, TD, it's not a challenge. What my name is wouldn't be
much of challenge, even for me. The statement meant
exactly what it says: There is no physical danger for my
actions. There might be some emotional danger (of
embarrasment, mostly) but I've lived with worse.

Get a life Sophtware.
As far as allowing others to have their own opinion, I
don't believe I have ever shoved a gun in someone's mouth
and forced a recantation. Do you consider trying to make
other people think about what they are saying is wrong? If
so, you'd better go back to Socrates. That's why he was
forced to commit suicide...with hemlock...except that you
probably didn't know that.
Do I believe that I am one of those? Not now. But, yes, I
was once one of those. I did put it all on the line, more
than once.
Have you?
