You always have a choice. And for that matter, if the tone doesn't suite you, there are always other forums you can frequent (or at least I take it that no one is forcing you to post here?).

Based in France, created by an Englishman and staffed by a handful of Americans, Englishmen, a Portuguese and a Finn.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
