Whether you personally agree with someone's opinion is one thing, but

Agreed, but that is not the same as saying all opinions are valid, which

is the statement I was disagreeing with.



For example, if I want an opinion on a particular subject, then the

opinions of someone who is an authority in that subject would be valid

whereas the opinions of someone who is clueless on that subject would

probably be useless.



I can see the point you are making but does that mean that you have

to be a climate scientist in order for your opinion on global warming to be

'valid'?



And surely whether somebody is 'clueless' or not is also just an opinion?

I think there's a confusion in this discussion between having the right to express an opinion and that opinion being valid.
