You're saying that if an opinion is such-and-such, shut up. All I'm saying, is that the antecedent is irrelevant. You should shut up either way. Why? You have an opinion. It is not shared by all people. In circles where your opinion is disagreeable to many, it can be very easy to rally them against you. We've not (yet?) progressed beyond this. You may one day find yourself in such a circle, or near it. And one day your expression of that opinion, "hateful" or not, may be used against you. So whatever your opinion is, keep it to yourself. It's a jungle out there. I do not envy Brendan Eich.
