Sedgie:Just what is that supposed to mean, O' Wise and Withered One?You mean to contend that ' personal 'opinions are valueless, meaningless and trivial?
Fortunately, those comments are but a 'personal' opinion on the subject of personal opinions.Thus, by your own admission, they shouldn't carry any real weight.
Nice little hackle farm you've got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it. ~Reph

I'm entitled to my opinion or I have a right to my opinion is a common declaration in rhetoric or debate that can be made in an attempt to persuade others to hold the opinion. When asserted for this reason, the statement exempifies an informal logical fallacy of the type red herring. Whether one has a particular entitlement or right is irrelevant to whether their assertion is true or false. To assert the existence of the right is a failure to assert any justification for the opinion. It can sometimes be an instance of the formal fallacy of equivocation when any of the various concepts of 'a right' - legal rights, natural rights or entitlement are confused.Whyte, Jamie, ch. 1., 'The Right to Your Opinion', Crimes Against Logic, McGraw-Hill, 2004

I agree lilly. As for opinions, yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but what I dont like is seeing many folk ramming their opinions down peoples throats and telling them their opinion is gospel true.Its only true when it is my opinionFreddie.
