I've read a number of your recent posts on this general subject and agree with most of what you have written. It seems to me that the problem is in the details. When a friend's opinions are being severely criticized it is far to easy (for all of us, not you personally) to view that criticism as personal rather than issue-related.

For example, if someone writes that all conservatives are dumb or evil or uncaring, it seems reasonable to me for those people who identify as conservative to perceive such a comment as personal. I'm not sure you agree.
