I think this is a really nicely written piece, and I think what you say here is very important:
But if they ask, be honest, be kind, be respectful. Make sure they know it’s not because they have different opinions, but because of how they reacted to your ideas.
Being dismissed for something you believe in doesn't feel good. I think everyone knows this, but a lot of people forget about this when they are doing the dismissing and not receiving it. Anyway, good post!
Thank you, I think it is so easy to get caught up in feeling hurt that it's easy to want to lash out, but it's even more important for anarchists not to get caught up in this than other people. We represent a small movement and it it is one of peace, not anger!
