They didn't push back on the _opinion_, they pushed back on _expressing an opinion_:
¨Respectfully, "I firmly believe" followed by an assertion from a non expert passing as "facts" is a pox on our modern society.¨
Nothing in there is "challenging" the opinion or "pushing back" on the opinion -- it's criticizing _expressing an opinion_.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agothis is slicing and dicing of words to try and weave a narrative. The poster reacted to an opinion negatively and pointed out that people need to stop that behavior. Can you imagine if someone said "raping children should be ok" and someone else tried to argue that saying people should stop raping children means they attacked the person and not the opinion? right, they challenged the opinion, stop with the wordplay.
