I can't come to bed, right now, someone on the interwebs is wrong!

How about:

"I reserve the right for you to keep your opinion to yourself."

zelda_pinwheel · 08-27-2008, 04:59 PM

that's not bad.

NatCh · 08-27-2008, 05:03 PM

The best I've come up with is: "I reserve the right to ignore uninformed, ill-considered opinions"

But that doesn't quite get there.

Taylor514ce · 08-27-2008, 05:05 PM

"You have the right to your opinion. You have the right to remain silent. Choose wisely."

NatCh · 08-27-2008, 05:06 PM

Now that's getting somewhere!

Taylor514ce · 08-27-2008, 05:08 PM

...if you cannot choose wisely, a choice will be provided for you...

NatCh · 08-27-2008, 05:09 PM

How about: "You have the right to your opinion, I have the right to ignore it."

It's not quite the same idea, but it does go nicely in the direction of expressing that the mere fact that something is someone's opinion it doesn't necessarily bind anyone else to agreeing with it, or even caring about it.

It leaves out the dumb and ignorant factors, though.

Because of a secret plot to keep my ego in check, no doubt. I'm only paranoid because everybody hates me.

Does "The blue one, next to the fish" have an illustration? Shall I simply use my creative skills to make something up? I must confess that I missed the particular silly thread that generated this bit of cultural reference.

"The right to free speech does not entail the right to an audience."

That's the logo I'd like on my tshirt .... right there.

Although I was thinking about what Nate mentioned ... that someone's right to an opinion does not negate my right to disagree with it.

Well .... you might consider a large blue 1 next to a fish.
