No, you are not entitled to your opinion

OK, so this really isn't a debate, but I don't care. So often we are confronted with "It's my opinion so you can't say I'm wrong" or other crazy values that I think this well thought retort to the whole "I'm entitled to my opinion" is worth a read to all who care.
If tl;dr, here's he argument breifly:

... I say something like this: “I’m sure you’ve heard the expression ‘everyone is entitled to their opinion.’ Perhaps you’ve even said it yourself, maybe to head off an argument or bring one to a close. Well, as soon as you walk into this room, it’s no longer true. You are not entitled to your opinion. You are only entitled to what you can argue for.”
