This is also very true. A lot of people tend to confuse the freedom to say what you want, with the freedom to say whatever you want
and not have anyone call you out or criticise you for what you have to say. Usually with bull**** soundbites like "I'm entitled to my opinion!" Etc. Etc... Etc.
Everyone should be entitled to their opinion, yes, and this includes being entitled to form an opinion OF another person, based on the opinions that they have expressed.
And that's really what it comes down to. If you want to be an opinionated person, you HAVE to accept that some (or many, depending on the opinion) people will not like you for it. Anyone who can't handle that should learn to keep their opinions to themselves... Or prepare for a life of often feeling hard-done-by
