If you take a strong stance and have a clear opinion or statement on any subject online, you're going to polarize people. And without that polarity, there's no discussion. Discussion is what I want, which means that I'm fine with the consequences.

It is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor.
