We're ''entitled'' to our opinions, but not to pass them off as facts. (if in fact they're not facts)

Absolutely. I just make the distinction that entitlements come from other people while rights are inherent. So you have a right to your own opinions, you're just not entitled to have them taken seriously.

lol That's true.  Big Grin  But we all know, this theory doesn't really hold up too well on the science forums. Any of them lol 

What is interesting about strongly held beliefs however, is that they seem factual to us if we have held onto them long enough.
