I'm hearing that many friends and colleagues are finding themselves in the position of having difficult conversations regarding social justice. the people we are talking to are reacting aggressively and unexpectedly. people who are normally capable of conversation are resorting to tactics they saw on the o'reilly factor when confronted with issues of sexism or racism. the discussions are quickly devolving into the adult equivalent of plugging our ears and yelling "la-la-la".

in this forum, I hope people will present and discuss difficult counterpoints, perspectives and scenarios, as well as, general tactics for keeping discussions somewhat productive.... if not productive, at least contained in a fashion that keeps us from snapping and telling people they resemble hitler.
