Well, yes, but it might be useful to consider that it's not always useful - or even good - to express opinions publicly. Is a strong opinion unexpressed any less an opinion (sincere question)?

In any case, the current internet-facilitated practice of firing off opinions as quickly as possible isn't wise and rarely, if ever, actually achieves anything.

This is a fair point I have to mull on. I work for a free speech organization so my knee-jerk reaction is always to oppose the mere suggestion to repress opinions. I think your point about the need for ‘hot takes’ on the internet is a good one.
