That is the most annoying thing, when people crash into spaces and say horrible things and then try to force you to accept it and make you look like the bad guy by saying “they will not listen to differing views, it’s an echo chamber!”
I am open to differing views but in views like “the Nazis were bad” or “2+2=4” it should be an echo chamber of consensus… you should not have to accept the “differing view” of “you all got your chronic illnesses through being horrible people, and if you are an angel now, well actually no I’ll just make up stuff to prove why you deserve it.” There are legitimate but uncomfortable differing views, and there is cruel insanity trying to force someone acting in good faith to accept the view under usual good-faith principles for non-insane views.
I am glad you at least have some kind of support group going on.
