    Well said that man.

    Although he's never heard of Keith Hill, what he's saying is if you don't think Keith is better than Alex Ferguson you're a ****.

    No such thing as free speach these days.

    I see what you did there

    ...posting that on here.

    More consisely:

    You're entitled to your opinion.
    You're entitled to spout your opinion if it is backed up by facts, logical argument and stated assumptions.

    That's the way it should be.

    I agree, although I'd change 'spout' for 'have your opinion respected'.

    ...and I should spell 'concisely' correctly too. And put on some trousers.

    On a similar note regarding opinions, an annoyance of mine is when people shrug off their insensitivity, inconsideration and a lack of tact by declaring "I call a spade a spade I do." There are many virtues of calling it as it is, avoiding sycophancy, hyperbole and plain old bullsheet. Using the philosophy to excuse rudeness is just wrong.
