I've been having an excellent time in discussion over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hesychasm's journal over the last couple of days. And then I followed the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
metafandom link to a discussion in umbo's journal and got all kind of twisted up again. Not in argument and confrontation, but in the tone I perceive, which stems only partly from the "there are things you shouldn't write because of the affect they may have on others", camp. This isn't a scree or rant about people who stand up for their principles. I think that's a good thing. I don't care which side of the current debate you are on.
Because it's entirely true that if you can't stand up for yourself, then it's highly likely that someone will stand up for you, even if you don't ask them to.
( And that, I think, is the problem I'm having. )
