I think a lot of us are affected this way - I suppose it depends on how strongly you feel about something whether you're prepared to run the gauntlet by saying it.

Of course, there are the professional 'I'm offended by ....' type and I think they may have been the driving force behind this recent phenomena.

Personally, I'm happy for others to have a different opinion to me as long as the opinion isn't malicious and confrontational.

What has happened to Free Speech ?

I was reading in the paper yesterday about someone who disagreed with breast feeding in public, but was scared of saying anything in case the PC Brigade came down on him like a ton of bricks.

I disagree with this view, but I think he should be able to state it.

Are there any topics you feel you can't talk about openly, because your view may not be the popular one ?
