Just what I think. Life is a two-way street. I used to be continually frustrated by those people who would go on and on about what they think, but shut me down completely if I said anything about what I think.
Now, when this starts to happen, I just say, "Look, if you get to say what you think, so do I. So you get to choose: either give me that same consideration that you claim, or you follow the same rules that you expect me to follow. Either we both can talk about our beliefs freely, or we both agree not to talk about them at all. Which do you prefer?"
Then you'll get a very clear idea of who is worth your time, and who isn't.
