Depends on the opinion. Some people are just plain jerks.
I remember when it was possible to state a benign opinion and not find yourself held up in the public square as someone to be reviled, ostracized from society, and banned from public activity.
And as a recent photo meme put it, "A child uses profanity and swears in school and nobody bats an eye. A child says a prayer in school and panic ensues."

I've been told I'm an asshole so many times that I have begun to believe it so if someone tells me I'm a jerk then I tell them they are mistaken.
Fuck 'em all.
I think maybe it's because I am getting old and cranky but my tolerance for bullshit has reached historic lows.
Yeah, I don't know. I've always thought that people got called a jerk if their opinion was jerky.
The problem is that there is a growing climate where all opinions other than the ONE APPROVED opinion are considered such.
Men are losing their jobs because of political donations.
Seriously? THis is better than the much-maligned McCarthyism how, exactly?
It's not so much that we're suddenly being called jerks than we are now called jerks someplace where we're aware we'd been so called.
