This is a group for socialists. If your local public library announces a Jane Austen appreciation night and you think Pride and Prejudice is shit and the people who love it are awful, there are very few good and honest reasons for you to attend.

You know your intentions. I don't. The group hosts will have to make inferences based on what you have to say and how you present it. If you're not here to be deliberately hostile, I don't think there's much reason to worry. Besides, the worst possible consequences (being blocked from further posts in this one particular group) are trivial.
