I try to tone down my rhetoric.

If I said what I really want to say I would be castigated.

When I was 8 years old I came home from Catholic School and told my mother I didn't believe what the nuns were telling me.
My mother was shocked.

When I was 13 yrs old my father was flying combat in Viet Nam and I told him I thought the war was wrong.
He was shocked.

So I have to tone things down I learned.
