People who say that their opinions are being shut down are choosing to shut down their opinions themselves. An accusation is just an accusation, It's only when it's true that it has any real power.
I don't think accusations shut down the opinion, more a case of shutting the debate down.
If we all had the patience to listen to each other life would be easier.
Sometimes it is the best way to walk away from a debate if you feel you are banging your head against a wall, much better than it getting into a full scale argument, after all, you might differ on opinions on one subject but agree totally on others.
