I'm struggling to get past OP's central conceit here: they want to share views that are generally considered unreasonable, but then are surprised when others in turn may behave in an unreasonable way towards them. It really seems like two peas in the same pod. (Worth noting we are getting the most positive read on OP's proposals via self-disclosure, while we assume the most negative responses via the same.) It's also worth noting that the OP has not claimed they have suffered verbal abuse, harrassment, or threats. It's as likely that if they were speaking in person the typical response would be someone disengaging from the conversation with haste. I imagine many HN readers are very familiar with how the nature of online discourse fundamentally shifts the responses available.
