I agree, expressing an opinion is, or should be, protected. The problem is when an opinion is distorted by bringing in outside irrelevancies to criticize someone else's thinking.
yeah, I suppose that could be a problem in a social network, George. I can see where that could create dissention, but we are being assaulted from every direction, and I am certain Chellovek is sometimes just another fly on the turd. He's been around a while, probably got more screws lose than me, but he's a sawyer, a log sticking up out of the river that diverts the current, shores erode, boats get damaged, until someone marks it on the charts. I do not believe him to be of mal-intent, just being an asshole once in a while. We all have those days.
Being devil’s advocate is better when you bring sources. Preferably sources from different political sides that both say the same basic thing...
