Re: Opinions versus facts (actual, imaginary, and half-truths)
Yeah, I can see why you think that, but it's subtly different.
Those people are free to say what they want, and I'm also free not to listen to them if I don't want to. I don't have to listen to everything that everyone says, I just don't have time for that.
It's a similar situation in the newspapers, people are free to have an opinion piece if the paper will publish it, but that doesn't mean I have to buy that paper or to read it. I have chosen to NEVER again read The Guardian (except the Bike Blog, which I like), because their views are way to extreme for my taste and I feel that they are peddling misinformation and gross exaggeration. But they are free to publish that.
