You get what you tolerate, and sometimes it's better for you to tolerate less. It's easier to solve a problem before it's critical, so if you are in a position to have an opinion, let everyone know it before it's to late.
When it's too late, disagreements tend to end up in big fights.
Consider your position. Can you win the fight and is it worth winning? If not, don't waste your time fighting. You don't need to be right if you don't benefit from it. You wouldn't fight to get a broken glass, so don't fight for something not worth keeping. Being right doesn't always put you in a better position.
If you go for a confrontation; remember that Gandhi once said:
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
