I find it fascinating when somebody unironically suggests that their fear of something qualifies as an argument against it; instead of a reason to disqualify themselves from the discussion. Thinking of guns in particular.
The fact you find them scary doesn't say anything about their nature, usefulness or value; just that you're not somebody worth including in the conversation.
If you have a fear, rather than demanding the rest of the world change to keep the nasty thing away from you; see that fear as a shortcoming you need to work on; an opportunity for self improvement.
In the meantime, keep quiet and let the grown-ups talk.
