You feel that fire deep in your belly? That unique rage that convinces you that not only are you correct about this, but that it is a uniquely important issue and nobody can tell you otherwise? THAT VERY FEELING SHOULD BE YOUR RED FLAG TO RE-EXAMINE WHAT YOU'RE WRITING, BOTH HERE AND ANY OTHER TIME YOU FEEL IT.
Of course the "issue" is "important" to me. "Countering Violent Extremism" is "precrime" and violates civil liberties. I've been subject to intrusive monitoring -- an open air prison. So yes, it bothers me because I haven't done anything wrong beyond speaking vociferously in favor of the "emergent polygyny" hypothesis. I have a fire in the belly indeed. I want the people who did this to go to jail.
