How so? I mean I think there's a basic deference due to every human being based both on the impact we have on each other and our own ignorance of each other's perspectives, and I hope I haven't unduly gone beyond that basic deference. But if I have, how does that make every idea harder to communicate to whomever I "over-respected", so to speak?

Are you one of the nuttiest nutters, in your estimation? How do you, personally, respond when you meet the nuttiest of nutters? Is there any line to cross or specific belief that, when you're presented with a person who holds it..causes you to either back away from that person..or involuntarily laugh in their face?
I'm the nuttiest of nuts ). I was just affirming that I realize there's a difference between self-censorship and being unwelcome, lest it appear to anyone that I don't.
I don't think of myself as the nuttiest, no. I worked with someone who told me the moon landing was a conspiracy. I don't remember how the conversation went exactly, but I remember not caring enough about it to make much of an effort thinking about it. And I think I told him that more or less, too. Were that posted in a forum, I might find it interesting to ponder, but it was in person at my job and I was too busy with other things to focus on a subject I didn't really care all that much about. I'll back away from any conversation I don't want to have, regardless of the reason. Can't say I've ever involuntarily laughed in someone's face. I've laughed inappropriately a few times, but usually because I've either misunderstood social expectations, or couldn't get some sort of humorous feeling out. I don't think the subject of it has ever been someone's beliefs, though.
