I used to say that also when people disagreed with me
"You will NEVER get an honest discussion about the events of 9/11 here..."
I used to say that also when people disagreed with me about various things. It lessened the sting, albeit only in my own head, of not being validated by those with different opinions. So I can readily empathize as to why you'd rationalize it as such.
On the other hand, by the time I got to fifth grade and stopped doing that, I found that discussion flowed much more easily. Hope it happens for you as well!
