I have zero issues with opinions. I just find yours to be specious.
I'm sorry, not being your father I'm not going to expend energy teaching you basic concepts.
Not an arbiter, just a guy giving his opinion.
You told XXLT "You're really going to have to do better than, 'there's extreme behavior on the right as well', if you're going to make a serious point."
That's not just "giving an opinion." It is asserting there is a standard and that you can hold others to it--until you are asked to articulate that standard or held to it yourself.
So you can "expend energy" offering negative opinions on a range of topics, and judge others, but refuse to explain what makes yours not specious.
That sort of judge-and-run keeps discussion at the level of quips. And safe.
