The problem is that the well is poisoned. There are so many people abusing your caveats above that using them can lead to harm. This is well examined in Thank You for Smoking: the main character weaponizes “just stating his opinion” and different worldviews to influence public opinion. Trust is therefore eroded so that anyone who may actually have a good counter position is indistinguishable from bad actors. I don’t want to say that justifies piling bad on bad. But that once the well is poisoned, we all die.
