Do any of the rest of you feel like this?

28. I am not swayed by the opinion of people I neither like nor respect.

They can only "pigeon-hole" (how long until someone finds that phrase sexist?) you is if you let them.

Frankly, I just ignore those threads, anyways. There are certain subjects which are best to just leave alone. When the same topic begins to sweep through DU, an identical process happens each time. You have the instigators (which are usually the same tired crowd) posting something inciteful instead of insightful. This leads people, who actually agree on most things, to argue about irrelevant minutia. This, then, spirals into the flame war the instigator wanted in the first place.
