You are right that we should be able to express opinions. (I have the same case opinion as the majority here.)
I lament the fact that we (US society) are far less conscious of the limitations of opinions than, say, fifty years ago, and that it leads to more pretensions and intractable division. For some reason, we seem to have uniformly worse leaders than before. I don't see how to fix those things fast.
So we aren't allowed to express an opinion, for fear it will lead to vigilantes?
