    My question is whether or not the aforementioned stance on confrontation makes me [weak].

Choose your battles.

Choose where and how you want to spend your intellectual and emotional energy.

You are well on your way to figuring out what is worth doing, saying, or writing.

You realized that engaging in arguments about polarizing topics based on insufficient information and selective statistics is not the best use of your time.

When you do speak up on a topic, your frenemies will know that it is something you feel strongly about.

. . . and everything kb said.
