I think it depends on what the opinions are. I used to be a vegetarian and had friends who would be upset and hurt when people ate meat. I don’t think meat eaters should apologize. There’s lots of situations where someone says something reasonable, and someone gets upset and no apology is necessary. Your claim that absolutely if opinions hurt people then the opinion haver should apologize , is wrong I think. And will lead to less discussion and a net negative to society.
