Untrue. This claim is extensively addressed and rebutted by a range of literature, most famously by Karl Popper:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_toleranceA great example of what this forum can be. An opinion or statement provided with reasoning, a counter point opinion or statement with reasoning and references.
Then, for me, a period of thoughtful reflection on the merits of each opinion, and usually more research on my part to understand both opinions. Relates to opinions on stocks or other matters.
Thank you to both Manlobbi and Luxmain for expanding my knowledge on free speech. Another topic for family dinner tonight.
