> In reality, I love dissent, and hearing different ideas, and arguing, convince and being convinced Sounds great. > and not having to care about “banned” words or sensitivities Whoa, where did this come from? How is this related to the previous statement at all? If you're the type of person who doesn't care about how your words can make others feel, then yeah I'm sure you're stuck with a feeling that you can't argue openly. Have you considered that by changing your tone so that it doesn't come across as personal attacks you would be able to have more open arguments? Maybe you've worked in companies where they actually have gone overboard, but in my experience most who complain about sensitivities are the type that want to call their colleagues' ideas "retarded" and such.
